Rome 2 : Total War

Well, the game has now become unplayable for me. Almost every battle now goes smoothly till half way when all the sudden all the units stop stutter around every 2 seconds rather than smooth movements and move incredibly slowly. The timer slows down to about the third of the speed and i cant fast forward at all. Meanwhile the camera view is still at 30fps.

No idea why this has happened it's been ok since release.

God this game is a mess, I've found new bugs almost daily as well, This week alone I've found:

My troops pushing ladders 5 metres, then stopping, then another 5 metres...etc. (took forever to get to the walls, which by then half had died.)

On the campaign map my army and navy were stuck with an attrition symbol on their head for no reason.

Went to the world map and closed it and the ground and sea on the campaign map was gone, there were just trees and cities floating on an untextured blue background.

In a naval battle a ship that got boarded decided to burst into flames...

Spear square formation doing completely nothing, horses just seemed to clumsily walk into the formation and both horses and spearman would just bump each other around without any actual fighting.

How can anyone release this game in this state with this huge quantity of game breaking bugs and horrible gameplay mechanics and deem it complete is beyond me...:confused:

^^^^ have you applied the beta patch of version 2...? For me it seems to have made many improvements and hopefully the final release will happen soon.

FWIW I prefer the round icon....

Lol, never seen that icon before. Is that your own custom one?

The fact is, the stock icon is hilariously bad.

Edit: - just looked and that is the icon in the steamapps folder, the desktop shortcut icon is the one that is horrid and low res.
 
That is all that I did - just point it to the Rome2.exe in the xxx:\Steam\steamapps\common\Total War Rome II folder. It does seem sharper than the original desktop one.

and without that horrid square black background as well!

Still points to them not even bothering to check that the desktop shortcut icon worked properly though :p
 
Bought this last night. Only played the first prologue mission and completed it. Was getting around 15fps during the battle. Playing in eyefinity, high settings. Was pretty bad. Installed the beta driver from AMD which helped somewhat but is far from great.

And I too have the desktop shortcut with about 5 pixels in it. Doesn't bother me, just looks silly :D
 
Well I just created desktop icons in Steam for my games..

Age of Empires II HD
Company of Heroes
Dishonored
Crysis
F1 2012
Medieval II Total War
Dawn of War Soulstorm

All had crap icons. Says nothing really.
