Thnx molly, I am also eagerly awaiting ANY update you can accomadate, you do an amazing job! hopefully after ya take a look at things and put out an update some of my problems will be fixed! Thnx again. EDIT: (one last thing not to fill this thread with nonsense, I am getting huge amounts of slowdown going into battle, and roght towards the very entrance of toad town, in meneus. I also notice -20 fps when walking out of any house. I have noticed more of this since each time i add more high rez textures. I am using newest v. of 1964, and also Rice 6.1.1 beta 10. I am using some texture filtering but other than that I think I have most of setting set to fastest, however alot of the options i do not fully inderstand such as buffers and others, I have done a great deal of teaching myself, and will continue to do so, but any help along the way is of course always appreciated!)
