well the readme dosent really say anything regarding pc reqs lol

if the game rungs over atleast 30fps for you from the start

then you should be happy you met the requirements hehehe

for me tho this runs a big laggy abit under 40fps or so


I teleported home one night
With Ron and Sid and Meg.
Ron stole Meggie's heart away
And i got Sidneys leg.

Fucking amazing Very Happy the graphics..... and it runs great!! (everything max except shadows which is at High)
And the Havoc physics... man you dont realise how much it adds to the game until you see it for yourself. every RTS from now on better have real physics or im out Very Happy

Damn you Microsoft!
I bet it wasn't neccessary to exclude Win2000 from the game. In fact, I bet they had to include an OS-detector in it...

For me, there are no advantages in WinXP in comparison with Win2000 I know of. What now? Upgrade? Wait for a unoffical patch? or what?

i'm hoping they release a fix, or else unofficial patch sounds good
if nothing by the actual game release, maybe i'll upgrade =-/
i'd do it now but i don't feel like formatting and i heard alot of stuff can go wrong if you just go 2000->xp

since ms killed the support for win 2k all the new games(from ms) will NOT play on older windows except for xp

the game will play tho its just removed the support for it... prolly a patch will be out by the time the game will be out nothing to worry about Razz

Some things I've noticed (though it may just be my PC):
- The cursor is too low (i.e. you have to move the cursor a good distance below everything to select something). This one was fun to deal with once I exited the demo Very Happy
- The priest is sideways.
- My settlers started building a manor but then they stopped midway through it and never finished it (even after I manually clicked on it).
- Fishing boats don't work.
- Could only edge-scroll up, otherwise the only way to scroll is with the arrow keys...

Other than this it was a blast. Can't wait for the final Smile

For people having the game reboot your computer, if you use a ATI card disable AA in your control panel or cat and the game will run it worked for me
