" Ok all sorted(ish)

First off this is basically lionheads fault and they are retarded for not ever noticing this, as this seems to affect two of the most common gfx cards out there..

To fix goto the game install directory and then into the data directory (my computer its CGames\Black & White 2\Data ) and open graphics.config with notepad or something similar.

Now you'll see on the left lots of card names followed by numbers, I simply changed mine to the lowest settings and worked my way up till it ran like it should but without reduced gfx details (some settings will disable the ability to change settings in game, my setting allows changing everything but from what I see disables pixel shader 2 support and uses 1.1, and it looks almost identical but with roughly five times the FPS.

Ok heres an example for a 9800, I dont know what it was at originally but heres what mines on now and gives me between 25-30 FPS on medium detail at 1024x768.

(code) 9800 1 1 1

Voila any nasty FPS issues should now be fixed, you can however lower it again but it really looks bad as you can see from my screenie a few posts back. Anyways im finally gonna play the game, just got pissed off by being asked if I want it explained how to move and it not actually letting me choose...

And whats worse you get told how to move left, and then he explains right, and then he explains forward and then he explains back and you CANNOT skip this at all.

Anyways enjoy, feel free to post this soloution wherever but gimme some credit oh and let me know if this works for you if you have the problem."
