and the fact that you say "use GR"...when i was told that pop-pop had GR support, i was enthusiastic. the fact that GR doesn't show games on the pop-pop tracker was disappointing though. I thought it would be able to list the tracker similar to how it lists quake games. With only 1-2 games (if you're lucky) on GR, the tracker is the only option.

I meant that you can use GameRanger to chat and organize games.

I'm surprised window mode slows down that much on your machine -- what OS are you running?

I get similar performance under 8.6. I don't think it can be helped.

i am using 9.1, sir.

I play in window mode all the time, because full screen gives me epilipsy seizures, or something. Anyway, I've gotten used to the framerate (about 30-40 fps, usually). With the water effects turned off, I've reached well over 1000 fps.

Although, of course, that has nothing to do with it. I found out the reason I don't get disconnected is the long ping time at openprojects.
