OT SEIV System Problems

Update your video card drivers and Direct X drivers.

Second see what programs are running in the back ground. On some atholon systems anti virus software will cause problems when running a game.

You can also unistall and reinstall.

Defrag your HD

Run without having the CD in.

Try em all and see what works.

you don't need the cd in to play the game, also turn off the music in the options section. Update drivers (but be careful, go to the manufacterer site for download, don't use windows update, I did and it messed up my whole system.

Good luck

You might need more memory for it - i guess the updates add more complexity but at the same time takes longer to progress each turn (hence the couple of seconds freeze) like to see future patches address this issue.

Who built the system? What chipset is it?

Dunno i guess more chipsets should be incorparated in the SEIV patches and SEV game when it is realised.

SEIV is capable of running (albiet slowly) perfectly fine on old, old systems. RAM is not the issue (unless you are just barely in the MB range, of course).

GT, try uninstalling the game and mods and then do a clean reinstall, could be you got a bad download file/s somewhere or, I have read in other forums, where those using the Radon graphics card had problems with some of their games, could be the graphics card itself
