For me CF seems to run a little slow and not as smooth as the original. Some of the rides don't seem to move as fluidly as they used to. I think that the program is constantly having to call up the additional sprites from the expansion and gets a little busy. I've got a PII 400 with 128 ram, and only when I pack everything into a tiny space (Dinky Park) will it start chunking. Anyone else noticed any performance issues?

I hope it's not too bad a performance hit, 'cause my PC stinks. I wouldn't even tell you how slow it is. Stop laughing.

I just haven't had the $$$ to upgrade it. I bought an 8-year-old 3-bedroom house with a Jacuzzi last year and bought a '99 Taurus last month. So the computer has had to wait. Ugh.

I haven't played it too much, and admittidly I was on the Bridge scenario and packing all my rides in a tight space, but even when I only had a coupld of rides going it was slowing down a bit. Don't know why. It's at the point where in a crowded park if I want to see a coaster go at full speed I have to click on a train and then scroll the window away from anything else on the screen. That way the computer only has to refresh a small area of the screen.

same prob... by Pickles at 11/11/99 7:58:37 PM

I have the same problem, my computer is a little smaller. PII333 with 64 megs of ram. I have never really had a problem with running anything. But my computer takes a hit when running RCT.

I play DVD movies all the time and it runs great, it never misses a beat! I know they can eat a computers memory up.

I've been running it on a very old Cyrix M200 with all of 32MB RAM, and the performance is good enough to play it still.
