Vanilla Sea (campaign map)

I am sure it has been posted somewhere but I just can't find it.

For the sake of improving the campaign gameplay on my crappy old PC, I think it would be necessary to return the beautiful roving sea of EB to the old RTW type. How do I do this?

It's on the main EB site. However that shoudn't improve your game, since the change is just cosmetic

Yes I definitely need new glasses rather than new PC.

Thank you, that is what I was looking for!

i have switched to the vanilla sea abt a month after i first downloaded EB although i prefered the EB sea display (i did it mostly out of curiousity to check any differences on game speed performance). My personal experience is that it made scrolling through the strategy map waaaaaaay faster...(my pc uses an 1,5 Ghz intel celeron processor with a 1,24 GB RAM which is admittedly low for today's standards)

I had them both as well, and didn't notice this. IMHO that's just an impression, because if you have the RTW water the lag is not so visible. If you however have the EB water, the game seems very lagy because of the wawes.

i hope you know what i'm saying, i didn't really express my self well

Sea isn't your problem. You shouldn't put too much faith into your belly. I did too try vanilla sea and it didn't do squat. Try turning some services, processes you don't need.

Do msconfig in start menu and do contrl-alt-del to bring up task manager. Just start tick off everything that's not "local service." That's what I did and pc didn't explode. EB loads faster now. There's another step which shows some descriptions but I don't remember how to bring it up.

If you are running a 64-bit operating system, and have 3GB of ram or higher, and installed using the RTW CD and not through Steam, you can use CFF Explorer to allow the RTW executable file to access more than 2GB address space, decreasing memory leak occurence, thereby reducing crashes and hopefully speeding things up. But then again, if you had 3GB of ram or higher, you probably wouldn't have had such a laggy campaign map.
