My steam-powered machine is blessed by the gods... Long live Taiwan! From what i read on the forums, i don't have as much problem playing the game than a lot people with good CPUs. 32 bit textures?!? No way i can get what i see on screenshots! The voodoo 5500 is supposed to handle 32 bit, but from my experience it handles 32 bit by converting it to 16 bit. The texture detail i get is about that of Deus Ex. Load times (except for the master file) is surprisingly short, 2-3 second in and out, with some 2-5 second pauses every 5 minutes.

But the editor is a completely different story. 2 hours just trying to load the master file and no success. All the sound files the editor can't load seem to be there so it must be my hardware... but as long as i'm not 100% sure of it, i'll try. There should be a way to make it run (very) slowly but (somewhat) smoothly.
