Yep, only half of the scare stories you heard about Vista 64bit are true.

Just a note- not tried it out yet but a big patch has just been released. It has a big list of crash fixes, and in campaign fixes it says it has fixed a bug where sallying armies break a siege even in defeat, which seems to relate to what I complained about above.

So with any luck this has helped.

Hopefully,

I don't want to try it out because I'm afraid I'm going to be disappointed again.

There's a patch on the patch already. Gee! That game breaks easily.

Yeah, I saw the patch, I was like "what the ****"?

Too bad it didn't fix my problem. I'm hoping a couple of Windows Hot Fixes will fix the issue, or a new videocard driver, but I don't have high hopes.

Ok I got all my gear, its incredible, ive not seen such detail, I can run Empire total war (tested with maximum ships in naval) on maximum settings, Crysis on max and supreme commaner even with a lot of units on max without any problems at all so ime happy thats for sure and my 24 inch shows it in a clarity ive not seen before (altho I have sensitive eyes so ill need to get more light in my room to equel it out)

Cool dude, have fun.

ty, hopefully the latest patches will fix problems as well, hmm

I highly doubt it.

Have they increased the size of groups of soldiers? I used to have 60 men per Line infantry group, now ive got 120 when playing as british and most other sides (I think its prussia gets a 150 one)

That was always a custom option in earlier TW games and I believe still is. Check your gameplay options.

I've always had 120 infantry units in a line when using the British.

hm thats strange, well after looking at the options I cannot find anything to ajust how many soldiers in a group 😕

edit: nvm, found it under "graphic" options hmmm

Ordered this game, can't wait to try it out.

Are the Naval battles anything evolutionary? And how does the gun fire system work out?

Hopefully it works for you.

There's an arc you see and the ship automatically shoot another ship in that arc. Or you can click on the broadside button and hit it again to control how they attack.

It's kinda of boring.
I've only done it a few times because the game does not work on my system for some reason.

Well it's arriving today so I'm pretty excited. I heard that it the AI on the Campaign is pretty horrible at release, so I'm going to patch it up before I start it though. Is the patch large? Don't want to wait longer to play it...

It would be cool if the next total war game would be a total war version of civilization/empire earth where you'd have a game spanning from the dawn of time to even the future. I'd love to pit Napoleon vs Alexander the Great or Samurai vs Knights 🙂

I have it on Steam, so I don't know. But there is alot of patches.

The is buggy as shit, and hopefully you can even play it. I can't. It freezes my computer to the point on where I have to cold reboot it.

It would be cool if the Total War series went from the dawn of time to now, but if they can't even make a non-buggy game spanning an hundred years, how the hell do you expect them to make a guy going over thousands of years.

My computer is not so bad now, whether its my new machine or recent patches i dont know but ive not had a crash and ive played it for a good few weeks.
