They know of the slow down reports, as you can read that they are addressing this issue in the Expansion of BGII. I have a friend at Microsoft that tells me that my machine may also be the problem. I told him that I had 128MB RAM, and he told me to put in another 128MB. You can buy a 256MB chip online for $65.00. He said to defrag the hard-drive once per month, especially if I delete files often. Also, the Video card could be looked at. All of these problems can contribute to the slow down of the game, and cannot be blamed on the game, itself. We would look like fools to think so. The guys at Interplay are probably laughing their heads off at how many people blame everybody but themselves for the problems that occur.
