First off, my hats are off to the people who took the time and energy to work on Freespace 2 SCP. I've had the original retail game from back in 2000 and swore to never get rid of it (I had actually purchased the game in a bargain bin for...wait for it...5 bucks!). I was a little leery about downloading a user-generated mod or upgrade because I always hear stories about how unstable they are and some odd glitches here and there. I'm happy to say that my FSO has been very stable and only saw a couple of problems. One was the odd naming of a subsystem for the Sathanas (AAA Beam cannon instead of forward beam cannon). This is not a big deal to me.
The other problem, however, is a little more difficult to deal with. In only a couple of nebula missions, the speed of the game actually goes way up (about double). I can't remember the first nebula mission I experienced this in (probably the stealth fighter test). I CAN tell you that the mission I am in now, which is locating and then protecting the Iceni and transport from those dastardly Shivans, definitely has the speed problem. I don't crash or anything, but the game moves way too fast for me to be able to complete it properly. It's hell on trying to stay on a Shivan's tail in this manner, too.
My computer specs are as follows:
NVIDIA 680i SLi Motherboard
2 GB RAM
2 GeForce 7600 GT Vid Cards (Latest drivers, of course)
Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHZ (EE6600)
I doubt my computer has anything to do with it since most of the nebula missions played out fine at normal speed.
I did a search for this problem in the forums, by the way, and couldn't really find much, so here's my post.
Again folks, well done!
