I cant go over 1280x720 or whatever the dead center middle resolution on the bar is, I crash when changing resolution or fullscreen with software ticked, I crash when changing fullscreen with hardware ticked, and the game is slow, and by slow, I mean FUCKING slow.

Running in software mode seemed to speed the game up, but by no means is it great.
I also don't know how to change the resolution. Unfortunately as far as gamespeed goes I am afraid it's a problem that seems common with Windows 8 and 16-bit games. 16-bit isn't supported by Windows 8 so any game that uses it runs like utter shit.

Any other FPS tweaks?
