I just got this game for christmas, intallation went fine game speed is maxed out and no other programs are running but still when I play, It is extremely slow  I tried all three disc's the same is with all can anyone out there have any Ideas??

What level of graphics setting are you using?

If it is very high, drop to lowest setting and see if it runs quicker.

If you are already at lowest setting - check your graphics card drivers (search on Dune2K for advice) sometimes you need the latest to work, sometimes you need to drop to an older driver...

Yeah, can we have the specification of your machine. Either make model or, if you know whats inside, the details...

[mactheknife]

My graphics level is set to low.  My PC specs are;

                      Intel celeron processor (633MHz)

                        64MB total system memory

                        11MB video memory

                        15.0GB hard drive

                        56K modem

                        5BW220-5000 series

                          compaq presorio

  everything on the game is working perfectly except it is is slow,  all other games I play works great like age of empire dune 2000 etc.

Ah.o well :- sorry to say this buddy,but u need to upgrade ur computer :-

U need at least 128ram and a 16 mb Video card that full supports direcX 8. in order to play this game at low settings  :-

[GhostHunter]

Yeah he's right - my only suggestion would be to make sure every graphics settting is turned to low.

[erjin999]

yeah, make shure ever background program/process is turned off...

what type of video card hav e you got exactly?

is it say as old as a 3dfx voodoo?    or nvidia riva tnt?  what?

as pointed out...turn everything to lowest...including the 'advanced' settings 'multitexture' -the killer! and 'hardware T&L' -turn off if you've got anything less than a geforce 2

also  yea get more ram hehehe  128 meg at the least

and save up and get a cheapo video card --anything under 100-au- will do fine

633MHz?

64MB total system memory?

Man, that's really ancient. You MUST upgrade your computer.
