I also run on XP with a 7 year old laptop and the only slow down I've seen is when 'smoke' from damaged capital ships becomes too thick. That was in 1.2b1 or b2 though (haven't done a full play through with the RCs yet), so I don't know if the amount has been turned down since then.

Just as a point of comparison - Flash games are slow on that laptop, some to the point of unplayable. Yet Transcendence runs fine!

Really? Sometimes when I play Transcendence on my Mac, with full mods (about 30-40), it lags more than some 3D (Windows) games. Although one can say it's because of the mods, I still think this should be able to be improved. Very surprising to find that Trans runs better than Flash game on any computer. :?

did you try to force to run the game in GDI and/or in Directx mode ?

No I didn't. I think the game runs on DirectX on my Mac, without me forcing it.

ok, so you might want to try /nodx and see if you get better performance :)

Well, thanks for the advice, but it's not really a big problem, and it'll be too complicated to do on my Mac just to reduce the minimal lag. :)

George must have fixed things up a bit maybe? I noticed the Multiverse was down for maintenance the other day - did you fix it then George? Seems to have done the trick, the random crashes have not happened for the past three days! :D

Tell you something I did notice recently - only a small cosmetic bug, the Centauri Command Ship seems to have lost it's texturing. Not that it's type appears in the game normally anyway. :P

The fix has not yet been released, but it will be soon (within days). The Multiverse maintenance was for some networking upgrades and minor server updates.
