thank you Tux - i just downloaded the new version - because it has the same size - i checked now the settings in effect: they are the same. (dont know of course what are the other improvements - to compare - but it seems for me it is the same)
are you sure the link is for the new version.? ..maybe mixed up with the old one?

ah, and regarding bloom: were in M2TW (which file) is this to disable?

anyway i started yesterday a campaign with the mod: its perfectly in battle - and i noticed no problems for my engines.
but: in the Campaign map every maneuver i.e. the camera, when using the arrow keys or the cursor to wander around is soo slow.
found it strange because i expected that in Battle Map the requirements were the highest - but there it works perfectly. and in the Campaign Map (where i most of the time dont use it - because the texts are to bright) the game is actually unplayable for me here. ...i forced myself yesterday through it, took a lot of time, until next battle were everything is fine.

could it be my engines are to slow for it? ...although in battle they perform well.?
i have a Geforce GT 240 with memory of 1024 MB (didnt find this one in the readme file - maybe other names for it here)
Intel Core 2Quad CPU Q8300 2.5 GHz (quad-core)
