My TTD game states that it is recommended to reboot into the command prompt and play from there rather than run it directly out of Windows as it will be sluggish running in Windows mode. My TTD is several years old so I could have an older version than he has but it's just a thought as to what could be wrong. To truly explore, one must keep an open mind... ID: 101118 ·

If your still running the original (I can't even play the original anymore. Partly cos it wont run on NT based windows, mostly cos it dosent have pre-signals) try getting TTDpatch. ID: 101125 ·
