Empire: Total war thread

No way! The game is really well optimized, I can max it out (save for SSAO and hardware shadows) with 2xAA and it runs very well. What are your settings at?

 

I have not installet it yet, got a sick kid so have'nt got the time right now.

 

mine is STILL updating. I got it started to downloaded on tuesday evening!!!
Its quicker to get it illegally lol wtf.

 

I think your PC should handle the game really well. It is better than mine afterall.

 

lets hope so

 

It runs great on mine, everything maxed.

Im doing a long campaign with Sweden atm, Copenhagen is giving me some trouble though.

 

i dont know how you guys are maxing it out, espically on a 9600gt...on my system in a battle with 1200 troops on each side when the bodies start to pile up the frames drop to teens as you zoom in...16frames or so...and i have to run it on high without HDR, SSAO and shadows are off for me as well.. my system although not the fastest is no slouch by a long shot...i am running at 1680x1050 no AA though...but shouldnt make that much of a difference. Dissapointed, you can say so =\

And whats up with with the units when running in battle, one or more of the units in the group starts to slide when he ends up falling behind the rest of his group. Like he is on skates or something....lol

 

Can't even install the stupid ******* thing because apparently the steam servers are busy, why the hell i need the servers to install from a disk is beyond me though.

 

If you buy the special forces edition at best buy make sure the sticker with the CD key is in the box before you leave the store, Sega forgot them.
It took me 3 tries before I got one, I was not happy :3eyes:

 

How are you finding the naval battles? I gave it a try in the demo, but even with the 5-6 (small number) ships you get in that, I was having trouble controlling them all...

 

why?

because it's a bugged game that needs to be patched.

 

I set my shadows to high, and SSAO and hardware shadows are off. Everything else is maxed at 1280x1024 with 2xAA and it runs really well. Even in a multiplayer battle with 3 others the game still runs smoothly.

 

Installed my retail copy last night,no problems with steam activation or updates, running at Ultra settings at 1920x1200 on my 24" LCD, smooth as butter, no glitches or slowdowns that I can see, whether it be Sea or Land Battles....

 

Just got home and installing it as I type. Can't wait to play this.

 

These CTD's are getting annoying as hell, had 5 so far, gonna wait til its patched before even tryin to get into the grand campaign.

 

I'm glad I'm not the only one with crashing problems. CA said they'd have a patch out by next week to fix a few things. I do like the game so far though. It runs really well on my box, ~40-90 fps, x2aa and x4 aaf. All ultra except shadows b/c I think they look pretty poor so I turned those bad larry's off.

The natives are getting crushed by volley fire:biggun:

Think i agree with blown apart about the shadows, and although im getting crashes it's a very good game, lovin the pukel guns as well, they rock, oh and the heavy 1st rates are pretty sweet as well =P

EDIT: Great corrupt saves now, woohoo, 20 turn down the drain.
