Sneaksie Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Probably yes, depends on your CPU too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flavious Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Just for reference, I'm getting smooth running of the demo on only 2MB RAM on a dual-core machine with an Nvidia 8800 card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketil Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Demo lagged hard on my machine with 8700 Nvidia and 2 MB RAM at the stock settings the game chose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knavery Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 I just downloaded the demo. On my machine, it's horrible. I did turn the resolution up to where the game would look somewhat presentable on a wide screen 22" monitor, so that could be the cause of why it's choppy as hell. But for the resolution I chose, the graphics are still very bad. Without throwing my specs out there, let's just say I can run everything else out there. Is the full version any better? I was a huge fan of the CM series. Although the graphics weren't great, it was revolutionary as far as game play. I just don't see that here. I mean no offense to the developers. I mean I'd certainly like to give it a shot, but if it won't even work on machines that are already pushing the limits of modern technology, where do we turn to?

I mean I'd certainly like to give it a shot, but if it won't even work on machines that are already pushing the limits of modern technology, where do we turn to? Well, the game runs GREAT on my system, as well as the demo. I can turn on all the high graphics options and settings, and I run it on my Acer 22" wide screen LCD at 1680x1050 resolution. No chop what so-ever, smooth as silk. My system is high end though. Here are my specs: SYSTEM SPECS Hardware: EVGA X58 TRI-SLI main board I7 940 cpu with Thermaltake SpinQ Cooler 12 GB Corsair XMS PC1066 Triple Channel Ram nVidia GeForce 260 Superclocked Edition PCI-E GPU (2x) Western Digital 150 GB SATA HDD (not currently in RAID config) (1x) Seagate 500 GB SATA II HDD RealTek 5.1 Ch Audio Lite-On DVD Multi Recorder Drive TSST DVD RW Drive Antec Nine Hundred Case Ultra X3 1000w ATX Power Supply BOSE Companion 3 series 2.1 Speakers Acer AL2216w 22" widescreen LCD Monitor Acer X223 Wbd 22" widescreen LCD Monitor Software: Dual Boot setup Microsoft Windows Vista 64-bit w/SP1 Microsoft Windows 7 beta The ONLY problem I have is that I can not get it to run under Vista64, but it runs great under Windows 7 beta. Has to be some kind of software problem, but I'm not too worried about as I'm sure I and the Battlefront tech folks will get it figured out soon enough.

This does not bode well, I only have Vista 64 bit. I will now soon enough... *pokes installer* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From other posts I've read, I seem to be in the minority with the Vista64 problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigJ62 Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Demo runs ok on my vista 64 with a similar setup to Sniper31. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UTexGrad Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 I've run both the demo and the actual game in Vista 64 with no issues whatsoever. Very smooth and MUCH better frame rates than TOW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmatt Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 For people having trouble running under Vista 64x, just right click on the games shortct and select the "Run as Admin" option and see if that doesn't work. From the few people that I have seen that had a problem, doing that simple fix, allowed the game to run for them. I have played and tested ToW-2 with both Vista (64x) and Windows 7 (64x) with no issues, but I had turned off UAC in both OS's a long time ago.

Sniper31 Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 I had not mentioned this before, but I also have turned of UAC in both Vista64 and Windows 7, yet I still can not get the game to run in Vista 64 (but it will run in Windows 7 great). Even if I just right click on the games shortcut and select the "Run as Admin", in Vista 64, the game loads, but CTD when I try to load a battle/campaign. Again though, this problem does not exist for me in Windows 7 beta, so I can play the game. Still, I would like to get my Vista 64 problem fixed.

Hafer Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 i've vista 64bit and i can run the game. i use the administrator-thing. btw, my specs and the resulting fps: intel dual core, 3,6gig hd4870, 512videoram 4gig ram soundblaster titanium 1680x1050 all maxed out fps 15-20 in the cities 40+ in the desert well, i thing i can play fine with fps in the 15-20. i mean, its not a shooter or a flightsim, where you need high fps.

DeutschRitter Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 The game runs bad with 20 fps. I bought TOW 1, CMSF and TOW 2 and every game sux in performance!!! My system e8400 @ 3600 Mhz 4 GB RAM nvidia 8800 GTX OCC (same settings as the 8800 Ultra) x-fi Soundcard I tested Vista 32 and XP. On both systems it runs bad. Im not a noob with computers, games etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piecekeeper Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 In desert it runs perfectly smooth but in cities it lags a little bit sometimes. Specs: i7 920, geforce gtx 260, vista 64, 6 gig ram. Can we expect performance improvements in future patches? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeutschRitter Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 sure, I have the latest drivers 182.50. Does it run better with earlier drivers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
