Re: DirectDraw over Direct3D

[Roderick Colenbrander]

The patch can make TA a lot faster the problem is that the game crashes
because it becomes multithreaded. Command&Conquer (which crashes when you
move the mouse) felt a lot faster, further StarCraft is a lot faster too.
When the multithreading issue is over TA will most likely be playable on
your system.
