things very laggy for them.

graal is very laggy as it is.
try laying around 200 bombs in a single level, and see how fast you can move.
update to the Direct3d, those who have it dont need to play it, or should just upgrade their pc's.
professional made games come with pc requirements, i know i couldnt buy one or two when i first got my pc, now I have l33t stuff on my pc, I can play anything. (in fact i just got a new gfx card)
If you refuse to update to direct 3d, then quit 2k2, because the way the 3d levels are now, is very bad.
if i make a hill and walk up it, i go fast on one side no matter what, even if i go up or down. and the other side i go slow, regardless of the direction im moving in.
also if its tall, and you are on the other side of it, it appears like you are on the front moving backwards.( bad )
direct3d is the way to go, unless the pc gods provide us with a 3rd option.
