- 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.
