Downloaded in under 30 minutes which rocked (currently in Atlanta), but than I tried loading it.

Like quite a few people on the main forum for the game I'm having absolutely unplayable framerates at any resolution. Must be a driver issue of some kind. If your game seems to not load at the first splash screen, its not frozen, the damn thing just takes forever if your having the slowdown issue. I can live with it since I'm sure they'll patch it, but it did give me a blue screen of death upon exiting to Windows XP. Will try installing on gaming rig when i get home.

Tested game with-
AMD X2 Dual 6400
ATI x1200 (onboard)
sound (onboard)
4gb ram

Wow, what a fantastic demo! The game is fantastic, beautifully and runs amazingly well here (everything max, 1920x1200). Sea battles are fantastic, but that's probably just because I'm a sucker for the period and love sea battles (Master and Commander highly recommended!). Smile

Ya the x1200 is on the pc for work. You have full rights to hate away guys. Razz

Main reason I posted was to alert anybody to the fact that the game will seem like its frozen at the beginning (3-5 min wait), but its just insanely slow if you dont have a good video card or it could be an odd optimization bug because all other recent games run fine for the most part on medium settings. Dozens of people on the forum are talking about the demo issues here-

Yeah, demo is very very very small, it even says it in the outro ("Thanks for playing this small demo") Razz Amazing game, though, so at least you have bits and pieces to enjoy until full comes out. Smile

i had 2 worries about this game before the demo

- The way line infantry worked would be utter shit... eg no control over your lines.. just big blobs
- Cannon would be way over powered

And i have to say i have no worries now.. both are done PERFECT in the game.. i LOVE the way line infantry works using the controls on the bottom right of the screen....

Im a big fan of this era of warfare.. i can not wait for the full thing Very Happy

Great game! It runs very nicely. And the battles feel good

I had a crash while playing it though, and then it pop-ups a windows saying to buy the game.

Bad timing for business Laughing

Finland was independant only in 1918. It was part of sweden/russian till then...

I downloaded the demo but the "preparing to lauch ETW demo" little steam screen keeps flashing and nothing comes... (yes I have a rig "strong" enough to launch it).

WTF is happening?

Good demo. Runs great, all on high and 40+ fps in the first naval battle (down to 20 with 21 ships) in the historical battle. Land tutorial battle was 30+ fps and the historical one around that number as well.

FREAKING AWESOME!

How in the flying fuck do you UNBIND a goddamn key?
These controls are completely fucking fubar - why didn't they retain the Medieval 2 control settings? I feel like I'm spending half the time trying to line my fucking units up correctly rather then actually fighting...

Lol! I couldn't even be bothered to line them up - there wasn't much motivation and I just felt lazy. If I was playing campaign it would be a different story - I hate losing units.

1917* Wink

Should be trivial to mod in anyway, custom faction mods have been done for the earlier games as well.

mhm this game doesn´t like my laptop..

1. it take ages to go to the menu
2. the infantry battle stops loading @90% and crashes computer
3. naval battle (if it doesn´t crash either on 90%) have heavy graphical artifacts it isn´t playable.
4. updated drivers, same bullshit
Dunno but they must have some shitty QA Team Razz

So how do you unbind a key under the custom configuration so you can bind it to something else. Anybody?
