@Zelyre: It'd actually be less perplexing if we were all running on the same hardware, wouldn't it? Unfortunately that's just not the case.

@Zelyre: Disabling multicore support would help if we had graphical hitches or hiccups during gameplay, but as it stands right now we sometimes can't even last long enough to reach the "Options - Video - Show Advanced Settings - Multicore Rendering - Disable" part of the main menu without CingTD.
