    Hi Dan...

    the game doesn't work definitely even with the worst quality settings...no problem...

    I think that the problem is in v1.02...unfortunately I have no v1.01 exe file...I tried to delete the Version 102.brz file, but it doesnt aid...

    unforunately the downloadable version is v1.02...crap...if I only had the v1.01 exe file and necessary dll's

    I noticed that Version 102.brz are of different size in the demo and in the game...

    My order number is 156566

    You are the only person to have said that the game runs worse now than before, so keep that in mind.

    v1.02 added some Options that might be causing you problems. If you experienced no mouse problems in v1.01 Demo make sure the ATI Left-Click option is off. Also make sure Priority is set to High within Options.

    v1.03 improved the graphics for everybody, but especially high end cards (yours most definitely is not high end :D ) If you have your graphics settings anywhere above the middle ranges you need to set them lower. You've got a bottom of the line video card and therefore running anything greater than the lowest settings will likely cause framerate problems.

    Try that and report back. Make sure to specify what your CM graphics settings are.

    well...I play Medieval Total War II very smoothly, in laarge battles too...but...no problem...

    The code for v1.03 actually improves the performance, but yes... when the demo version matches a release version the EXACT SAME CODE is in place, except some game features are nuked. It has no impact on the gameplay.

    I'll go look at your post now, but seeing as you are the ONLY person to claim that the game plays worse than the demo, I think I already know where to start looking for problems. And it isn't the code :D

    Steve

    thanks Steve for the polite reply...you are the OLD Steve ;)

    I still remember that in the old times, when I claimed my copy of CMBO was missing, you arranged it immediately.

    No problem if the game will not work...I appreciate your politeness very much :cool:

    Btw...is it possible to downgrade version1.02 to version1.01?...I tried to delete version1.02.brz file...but it doesn't work :eek:

    You're sure taking a beating there, Knaust. I read through your tech post. You seem to have your mind made up that it's the full game that's a problem and not your settings. Let me try to persuade you to:

    1. check your monitor settings and refresh rate

    2. Check your memory allocation files. You may want to increase the minimum memory usage to the max.

    3. This is a great link to understanding your PC http://www.tweakguides.com/Graphics_2.html

    thanks for the tip, Mark...I will try it...but still I remain in my opinion...the demo worked...the game doesn't with a similar scenario...same pc, same settings...

    please take note that I question about same scenarios...Training DEMO and first game scenario

    OK, well not as old as Seanachi or Emerys, but old enough.

    I bought the pre-order special edition version before the demo was out. The goal was to get a handy mousepad with the keyboard / shortcut commands on it. Alas, the keyboard commands / shortcuts do not match up with what is in the game.

    Fairness is an illusion.

    I don't pretend all that...I PRETEND that the game runs as the demo :cool:

    I'm an old member (see my member #!).

    I downloaded the demo, tried it and it ran smoothly in both scenarios.

    Now...What is the goal the demo is released for?

    I think...the company says: Hey man, try the demo and if it is OK, then buy the game and it will be OK.

    This is exactly what I did!

    Alas...the game cannot run the small Abu Susah scenario in the same way the demo ran both scenarios.

    Now I say again (sort of understatement):

    IS THIS REALLY FAIR?

    AMD Turion 64 Mobile Technology ML-34 1768MHz

    ATI Mobility Radeon XPress 200 series 128Mb

    Windows XP Home 1024Mb

    BFC version

    I ran the demo v1.02 pretty well, so I was confident in this game.

    I downloaded the 1.02 standard edition, but the graphics is crappy...insects instead of men...clumsy mouse...

    The 1.03 doesn't help

    Smashing Metal of demo runs fine

    1st scenario of standard edition is crappy

    This seems nothing to do with video RAM, but with the BFC software :cool:

    Please help me.

    I wnat my 55+16 bucks to work :mad:

    I played the demo, but I was disappointed with AI.

    I played the Syrians and got a Total Victory, Elite difficulty, against the AI.

    ---SPOILER---

    Deploy Syrian units on the Syrian right side and wait for Blue units approaching. ;)

    The Blue AI doesn't have the correct approach to this strategy.
