It sounds like Marathon bypasses Quickdraw, so you need to turn on "refresh mode" to make sure that what they draw becomes visible. You can do this either with: executor -refresh 10 or with the leftalt-shift-5 preferences panel. Lower refresh numbers mean higher frame rates, but higher frame rates make Executor run more slowly. If you're playing games like this under Linux, also be sure to use the "-privatecmap" flag for speed. -Mat
