Hi there and welcome to the board.
I missed you first posts yesterday but I agree with you about the polygone thing. However, you'll get use to it (or you should of by now anyway). Just for your info, your problems have nothing to do with your hardware. I'm also running a PIII 866 with WinMe and the latest version of DirectX and all works fine.
Also, the game was rushed out and a "few" bugs remained. There's no patched expected to fix the remaining problems with the game so we're stuck with it the way it is (wich is not too bad

)
Finally, I got a more personnal question for you. Do you know a guy who used to go by the alias of Nightbird? He's a "butcher" and a good friend of mine that I lost track of. If you know him, drop me an e-mail 'cause we most likely know each other. Unless I'm mistaking, you'd be a "small rock".
If the above doesn't make sense to you, don't worry about it, I just mistaken you for someone else.
Cheers.
