mine is super slow, like 1-2 fps right before the ship takes off. I'm running xp on an older laptop with wifi. still no reason a program like this shouldnt run smoothly. like was mentioned earlier, turned the sound off and all was well... I even was able to turn the sound back on after the initial land grant screen (all this with 3 ai players) with good performance. On the only multiplayer I've tried, my ping shot up to 500+ on the second land grant. what gives? I was so pumped about playing mule, and now I can't =( bummer! I also have the issue of 10+ abandoned games on my record, can you reset that so I dont look like a flake?

SUPER ANNOYING! even after the sound off/on trick it still slows to 2fps after the 3rd round. also the game speed is highly inconsistent throughout. any word when that next version is coming out...?

I accidentally posted similar experience in another thread, in short:

As someone else stated turning off sound and then starting a game fixes the issue.

After re-enabling sound, closing and restarting the game the extremely slow fps issue is gone.

HOWEVER, the next day the problem reappeared, it fixed itself when I disabled sound in the game after the next development started BUT then started again about 10 mins after I reenabled sound again... going to try with my PC now.

My other PC ran it fine last night, but played again with the main today - I just turned the sound off before I started and before ever Land Auction and it worked great.

As I said in the other thread about the same topic: We're working to get the sound slowdown issue fixed in the next version :)

We will notify it with a news post on the front page. Also the game will automatically update itself. I hope that will be enough to make you notice it.

any news on resolving this issue at all?

 I just recently tried 1.3.4 on that same pc and game still behaves the same, slows to a crawl after the ship takes off and after the score screen when the music stops playing.  Toggling the sound off then back on seems to solve the problem until the score screen again...
