Also in “preferences.script” at line 18:

Graphics are low, in-game lag, long loading times :

scroll down tll you find, and run:
DXSETUP
(do this each time after video driver update)

Restart pc and chose new account.

Boost your game - Faster Loading
( debatable : there is pro and contra about this, but I strongly recommend it !)
Click START – in Search, type :msconfig.
Boot – Advanced Options – Number of Processors 1
Change to maximum nr of your cpus, ex:
Boot –Advanced Options – Number of Processors 4
Apply– Restart now.
(If your processor has 8cores then : Boot –Advanced Options – Number of Processors 8 : in other words choose maximum of cores allowed)
