A strange question

[Perrin]

I have played Mir2 for more years than i wish to remember, but after upgrading my system, i am finding Mir2 almost too laggy to play, due to my system being on Win 7, and I was wondering, with Mir3 being a newer version, possibly in a different language/ or engine whether it runs better on Win 7?

the main issue i have on mir2 is when i have drop view turned on i get like 2 step lag, when its turned off it plays fine.

Any fixes or answers to if mir3 would run better would be most appreciated.

Mir 3 runs worse with Windows 7 and new gfx cards.

It's because windows 7 isn't meant to run low rate graphics for games, so you will get graphic lag as it's trying to run at 8bit. Your best option for both Mir 2 & 3, is to run the graphic card in the lowest possible setting you can get from it and then build it up slowly with settings until you happy with what you get.

Thanks for the replies, not the answers i hoped, as was contemplating switching to mir3, but still a possible sollution.

cheers again

Mir 3 runs at 800x600 resolution. Hopefully we will have the files with 1024x768 support soon.

Screen size doesn't really matter, as at 1024x768 it still runs at 16bit color and windows 7 doesn't like low rate color exchange.

I've never said it will have 32 bits color. He said he hates 800x600 and I said we will probably have a new resolution.

pfff i dont like it.... its **** on 800x600 resolution , some help plz

You can't change the resolution. Mir runs at 800x600 and there's nothing you can do.

As I said, Azura added 1024x768 resolution on the open source files, but they're not playable atm.
