Turn off Animations?

[aebbeka]

I apolgize if this has been mentioned before, but I didn't find it in a search.

Does the "Turn off Animations" turn off all the animations? The game runs quite slow on my laptop. The bottleneck is definately the video card (it's a Radeon 9000), so I turned the graphics as far down as they'll go, but the waves still smash into the shore, and the smoke still puffs out of the mines. Is there anyway to turn those animations off? They've gotta be the main slow down.

Turning off effects will get rid of the smoke and whatnot. I doubt your video card is much of a bottleneck though. I only have a GF4mx and it runs fine with animations and effects on.
