[QUOTE=CommanderPT;13803568]:([/QUOTE] You're depressing me. :( How come you can't run the game?

Why does the loading take so long? I want to play but it takes almost 5 minutes just to get to the menu.

Good grief, mine is only downloading at 32 fucking kb, I'm never going to DL it at this rate.

[QUOTE=Gwoodman;13804023]Why does the loading take so long? I want to play but it takes almost 5 minutes just to get to the menu.[/QUOTE] It gets shorter when you load up the game the second time or have lowered some of the settings like ambient shadows/lighting.

[QUOTE=Uberman77883;13801173]I am running on ultra settings, with everything enabled and it looks pretty good. Stop saying the graphics suck, how would you like thousands of troops with crysis graphics? It would rape all PC's.[/QUOTE] Lern2sarcasm seriously

[QUOTE=angelangel;13804180]It gets shorter when you load up the game the second time or have lowered some of the settings like ambient shadows/lighting.[/QUOTE] Alright, I'll try that.

All right, played the tutorials. I can run it prett well with a Core 2 Duo E6600 @ 2.4 GHz, 2 Gigs of Ram and a Geforce 8800 GTS with 640 mb of Vram. Got almost everything except shadows and one other thing at high and running at 1650 x 1060. Gameplay so far is pretty good but i always liked the campaign more, so the game will probably be awesome.

It's taken me all day to get to 75%, I hope it doesn't take long for the last 25 Also will it run ok on my 7600 GS graphics card?

Aah well, all the more reason for me to make my dad buy me a new graphics card.

I downloaded it on steam, but it keeps saying the game is unavailable.

I have a decent computer and the land battle runs pretty well on all high except for AA and shadows. For some reason AA really screws my FPS up even on the lowest setting so I turned it off.

Geforce 9800gtx+ q9450 2.66 4gigs of ram and i got 30fps on medium.... wut?

It has to be something with the game/engine, but for now, I'll just cry.

I'm getting about 50 on very high, HD4850 512 E8500 @ 3.1 Ghz 2GB ram.

9800GTX+ E8400 @ 3.8Ghz 3GB Ram 0.00000000001 FPS on Medium settings. -∞ FPS on High settings (system BSOD'ing :)) Awesome, totally wait the ~24 hours wait :)

It runs pretty smoothly, I'll probably buy it from Amazon.

Whoho holy shitt, demo was awesome as fucking hell :excited:, runs as smooth as a babbies arse. But what the hell. It takes atleast 5 minutes to load a battle.

Wow, I dunno what everyone is saying about bad performance. I have a 1.8ghz single core AMD Sempron 2800+, a 7800GS, 1.5gb of ram, and I play at 1024x768x75hz on all medium with 30+ fps. All low I consistently get 50+fps.

Why's it restricting graphics settings? I've got an Nvidia 7900, and only letting me run on medium. I can run it with basically no lag at that speed, so I see no reason why I shouldn't be able to run it on high with a bit of lag. I mean wow, the medium settings look like M2TW if not worse. Great demo though, the gameplay is amazing. A LOT better than I thought it'd be. Going to make these next 11 or so days VERY, VERY long.

It looks really good but the loading is sooo damn long. Also it's MUCH harder now than it was before.

Well, they really did improve the AI now compared to the dumb armies of Rome and Medieval II. I can't wait to get my hands on the ETW art book. The loading screen is an awesome painting.

I can't use anything above medium either :(
