you only talk about the megalest64.exe - like yesterday. (thats one reason why I might messed up openAL.dll and megaglest64.exe Revisions yesterday).
With the openAL.dll hours before this one is in Benchmark about 40, 30
with the openAL.dll you uploaded at 08-Nov-2013 22:54 this one run Benchmark with 40,130 Hooray!
you can have an idea of the performance at the loadingscreen of the factions: on bad performance it slows down too....
At the first try of this last, good performing combination MG freezed while loading factions. Huh?
Afterward its works like a charm. i tried three times.
It might be important for testing, that the change from one version to an other on windows will have difficulties at the first run. is there anything resident when MG is quitted?
I thought often, that the first loading of factions after booting windows is slower than afterwards ..
