Playing multiplayer/skirmish on a large map, or with a lot of players, can cause reduced performance on low-end machines. To improve the game's performance on your machine:
- make sure you have the latest drivers
- turn down your Graphics and other settings

Firewalls that aren’t turned off may prevent connection with network games.

Users may experience graphical problems when using NVIDIA 6694 drivers on Windows 98/Me.

Alt-Tab may work for minimizing the game, but is not officially supported.

Using Alt-F4 to close the game is not supported.
