No Music

I also don't have any music. I was able to play CD music in the background (the game ran without the CD), but the ships all moved super fast! Everything else seemed to work though. Haven't tried an MP3 player yet.

The "fast-moving ships" thing is a different bug that many of us have reported. For at least some of us, it seems to be linked to using your modem for a while, then running SE4. Try rebooting, start SE4, and the ship animation should be normal speed again.

He is not the first to say it is linked to some music playing programs also. I wonder what they have in common with modems that causes this? Is there some kind of accelerator program that they use to speed up something that happens to also affect the ship animation?

[Sinapus]

I've gotten the fast ship movement myself. I don't know what causes it. I sometimes have other programs running when I play, though. That might do something.

As for music, the CD music sounds okay, but I'm too much of a B5 fan. I tend to play stuff from that show and a few others on Winamp while I play.

Though maybe "Requiem for the Line" isn't a good mp3 to play when defending a world against an attack.

You never know. It might just inspire a surrender and subsequent alliance from your enemy.
