Master of Orion 2
Submitted by Anonymous on 2002-02-01 12:00:00 This product has a rating of 5 out of 5 running under Windows 2000 Comments: Received the follow messages: 1) Mouse movement is erractic at times (mouse seems unresponsive, and then jumps accross the screen). Game *will* crash if you use more than 1 CPU. ATL-Tab switching causes the mouse to go nuts as described above. 2) Runs ok install of original cd, and off it went. No choppiness, much more responsive with dual cpu's (even on huge map with 8 enemies and big fleets)it takes less than a second to end turn 3) game locks when choosing the race in Single-/or Multiplayer Game; Got the latest patch (1.31); also tried the application compatibilitay tool with some configs but didnt help; 4) The game runs fine with only one flaw: the mouse freezes in place on the production selection screen. This can be worked around by right-clicking which unfreezes the mouse. 5) The mouse freeze if you have old drivers of NVIDIA. Try the new Detonator 4 (beta) 5.13.01.1210 it will work. 6) According to my tests, Master of Orion 2 (with latest 1.31 patch, avalaible at http://orion.rihkama.net/moo2/updates.php - NO direct linking to patch file!) works mostly fine. Several times in dialogs mouse starts to jerk but you can usually skip this by holding left mouse button down. Also, on my computer (dual Celeron 400, Matrox G450 etc.) some parts of display start to flash requiring to restart game. I also encountered mouse jerking all the time when I updated Microsoft's IntelliPoint software. Generally, MOO2 has worked fine on W2K with latest patches/service packs. |
