I haven't tried it yet, but here it is.

I've tried it, it does slow down battles and improves them. It's a start anyway.

Your version number top right on the main screen will go from from v.1.0.0 6798 453126 to v.1.0.0 6858 453644.

Cheers, sorted now.

Try this little mod for battles, just extract and copy folder into Rome 2 data - if you're using STEAM.

I just really like watching as the troops march along

I streamed nearly all of my game so far here if anyone who is thinking about buying the game wants to have a look: http://www.twitch.tv/ofpfanatic/profile/pastBroadcasts. Some TATW too at the bottom of the list

I'm not sure about the capture point thing..

I out numbered a force 2:1. But due to most of my army having to land at the beach by the time I got there I had lost even though nothing had happened. Why would there be a capture point in the middle of nowhere and why after a certain amount of time would my army just go.. Eh, nevermind you win?!

Whats so funny?

The Ai is quite bad, I took a settlement with about 700 men against there 2000. They would have won if half the enemy didn't literally just stand near the capture point and just watch me take it.
I think im just gonna wait till Radious makes his mod, in the mean time ill go back to some the older Total wars.

One thing that is really bugging me now is how it turns into so messy melee. All these elite units can't hold their shape in combat which seems stupid as that was the way they fought.

I think the Radious Battle Mod is supposed to help with this problem, but it is awful that the game was released in this condition. This is another dev I'll be adding to the 'untrusted moneygrabbers' pile, to avoid in future.

Just finished benchmarking before and after installing the new drivers. Lost about 1fps on the new ones, and another 1fps on min framerate (now 12fps, yay!). This is on a AMD 7950

What settings are you running on?

I have a 7950 and get 51fps running on mostly Ultra with 2AA.

My spec drops to 5fps in battles. This game is total ass cheese.

I complained and got a £5 amazon voucher applied to my account.

Just got the game been looking forward to it for ages, and now just got to wait 6 hours for it to download due to my DVD drive playing up, and I was having a look around and just noticed you have to pay an extra £6 to use the Greek factions seriously wtf

Joined twcenter after pre-order and been a week trying to browse the forum but this site is the slowest I have come across where it takes 2mins to load a page, or longer. I have fast fibre so whats up with this great site?

Can someone with a similair spec to mine see what GPU usage they are getting? Mine does not budge past 53% and on 'Very High' settings it stays at around 12fps when zoomed in on a battle.

Mines about the same, except a 670 instead of a 7950 and I'm getting the same performance more or less, I've noticed that AA and vegetation alpha are the FPS killers.

Annoyingly though, anisotropic filtering seems to have the biggest FPS hit when it comes to having units on screen, which is god awful optimisation.

I'm still waiting.

This is my 3rd disappointment with the series since MTW2. My favourite memories of the series was the castle/settlement building, with images showing what you were getting for your investments. The lighter version of this leaves me very disappointed and ultimately unfilled. Might be another E:TW and wait for 6 months to play but still not very impressed.
