A few seconds after starting to play Darwinia the mouse became extremely sluggish, I could select units and move around, but not nearly as quickly or easily as normal.
Pressing TAB will sometimes solve the problem, but only for a few seconds.
I'm running Vista 32-bit, with 4GB RAM (3.5GB recognised), Intel Core 2 Duo, and a Geforce 8800GTS. I'm also running dual monitors and Synergy Network KVM, I've tried disabling both and it made no difference.
Darwinia was installed and running through Steam. The demo was absolutely fine (also installed through Steam).
I've also noticed a few graphics glitches: the sea turns from black to red randomly, and squads are blocky. These aren't nearly enough to stop me playing it though.
Thanks,
Ben

Hmmm, the Demo use Opengl, and the latest version use Directx. This is most probably your problem. The strange thing is that most people have the inverted problem on Vista (Opengl don't work well).
From others post, it seems playing in windowed mode _solve_ the problem.
Please post back if you do find a definitive answer.
