Is SOF2 a bad program, or is it my comp setup? Sound is choppy, video blinks, and the graphics are truly awful. I just put in DX 8.1 (4.08.01.0901) and i basicly have no idea what i'm doing.
Tried Farscape, got better sound but video still blinks. It asks for DX 8.1, i install it, and it doesn't run properly -and i'm lost.

Maybe you need to get a new Graphics Card with more memory mine is a GeForce4 with 64mb of memory. That should do it.

SOF 2 great game. Dx8.1 on GeforceMX440 runs it fine. however SOF 1 will not play at all on this system. even with compatibility on!!! i wasted good money on SOF.
