Yes I have, it made no difference at all. Turned off all processes that I could, scanned cleaned, defragged, updated, etc everything that I can. Contemplating just wiping out my entire HD and starting over with a clean machine and seeing if that makes any difference.

Hmmm, that stinks. Based on this demo then I can't purchase the full game which is unfortunate, as it looks to be right up my alley. Here's hoping that ToW2 run better on modern machines, works with Vista 64 and that a demo that is indicative of its performance will be released.

Yup, clean as can be. I just find it odd that every single other game I have, which is a lot of them, runs silky smooth...but this 1 single games runs horribly. All drivers are up to date, Hard drive is in good shape, etc...

I am just wondering if this game hates newer machiens, even though mine isnt brand new it is still a powerful system. DC Intel 3ghz, ATI 4870 newest drivers, runs Crysis 40fps and most everything else 40+ I reset my VC to factory Defaults and I still get 16 fps in game, if I turn all details down to min I may get 25fps. Anyone else in the same boat?

Yes I understand that, but how big a part of the entire game is the mission editor and battle generator? Is the game designed around those two features?

I run Vista 64, is it worth getting with this operating system or do you loose too much functionality and features? Are those things that you do lose a big part of the game? TY.

Just wanted to echo the OP, I have the same issue here. I have a machine that runs nearly all games at max/near max details at a nice resolution, yet I only get about 20ish frames per second. Yea, this game is playable at 20frames but it doesn't make you feel good about it. I am using at ATI 4870, and playing at medium details across the board with shadows turned off. Just curious why there is such a bottleneck with this game but others like AoC, Crysis, and other run silky smooth.

So far, I am really enjoying the game, however it is bringin my machine to its knees, only getting 20ish frames much of the time. DC 3ghz 4 GB RAM Vista 64 Raideon 4870 I run AoC, Crysis, and most of the newest games at high lvls, SF is really humbling my system. I turned off shadows, but even at Balanced details I am only getting 20-40 fps. Playable for sure, just not what I was expecting.

Wow I was out of the loop longer than I thought...I have a lot of catching up to do. TY for the info and also for reminding me of the mods sites. Any particular modders to keep an eye out for now a-days?

I used to be a huge Combat Mission Fan, I played the original, wearing out 1 disc and having to order a 2nd. After Afrika came out I lost touch with it, school was ramping up, work was picking up, etc... Then out of the blue today I remember the name Battlefront. So I google it to see if the company was still around, and low and behold my surprise and joy they are still going strong, with a new game out to boot. I immediately purchased SF and Marines. I just wanted to say hi again to a community I so often frequented years ago. Just curious, I didn't see this anywere, when did SF and Marines actually come out? Also any must haves I should look into, new BF games or mods for SF? Much appreciated.
