No, I'm afraid I haven't rescued Tax and the Chieftan's son (although I have rescued Tax). I haven't been able to make it all the way through a level on the battlefields, yet. The game halts and I can't make it past the first couple of encounters involving Mutants. Encounters with Citadel Rangers/Gaurds/etc. go at normal speed (well, most of the time -- but that might be because of mutants behind a wall). I can tell if there are Mutants around, because as soon as they show up on the mini map, the game will halt for 60-90 seconds and then run normally for a few seconds. If I can kill the mutants in that time, it won't slow again until the next group shows.
Fortunately, they go away with a single blow, but if I lose track of the cursor it can be hard to do that.
The good news is that it *does* work on my older machine. That's just claimed by my wife... So the install disks are fine, and the save games are OK. It's probably a conflict elsewhere, and I'm hesitant about setting up a BD-specific configuration. I'm also not sure what all services I might be able to shut down (some are easy to guess). Any hints there?
