Rome 2 : Total War

[nitram100]

Wow, I have just had a quick game of Shogun 2 not only does it looks 100x better but it runs at 50-90fps on Ultra whereas Rome 2 runs at 25fps on High while look worse!

I quite like the semi-arcade feel, games don't last as long, good for when I want a more casual grand strategy game.

If I want more depth and realism I will just play Europa Universalis 4.

I disagree with this. Rome 2 looks significantly better than Shogun, as well as virtually every other strategy game out there.

why is it installing Direct x every time I play ?

Liking R2 a lot so far, such an epic map. Graphics are pretty good, without being outstanding, although the campaign map is stunning imo. No crashing/poor framerate issues here, although I do get some slow down when zoomed right in to the frontlines of a battle.

Running extreme on an i5 2500k, HD 7850 and 8 Gb of 1600 MHz

My biggest gripe is one I've had for the entire TW series...lack of diplomacy options. Where's the 'Broker Peace' option so you can get two allies to stop fighting and the 'Threaten' option has gone too. Simple things.

Not sure but that'll be an issue with Steam and not Rome. I've had it happen with other games.

A reinstall would likely fix it or moving the folder away, deleting local content within steam and then moving the folder back and verifying the game cache.

Yep and unless I've missed it you can no longer trade settlements which seems add seeing that there are bonuses for completing a province.

Are you on steam?

If you are you need tikione-steam-cleaner.

Free program that cleans up all those endless boring setup processes for steam games, and save you a bit of disk space.

You need 'tiki one steam cleaner' - stops all those boring 'steam is installing direct x' type processes when you launch a game thru steam.

it's also free

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.

It does help. It's a start at least.

Try it chaps, extract copy folder into R2 data folder. Battles are slower for sure.

Why do the creative assembly always release the game when it's not ready

 

[the wopster]

Great now my save game is ****** this is now taking the ****78 turns and crash

Total Mess Rome II. Runs like crap, not sure what to do to be fair. Everything I try I gain a few fps here and there. But It still sits below 30 fps most of the time. The patch yesterday did nothing.

didn't realise there were bonuses!

Ignore the game for a month and it might be fixed by then

Turn off your FPS counter .

 

[Omaeka]

This sums the A.I. up perfectly.

Spoiler

Seems that two of my guys commited suicide.

Best advice right there TBH. Ignore the fps for the time being, I'd recommed the GEM mod to sort the filters out, other then this not a lot more can be done, generally from what i've been reading CA tend to fix their games after release, which is very poor but they have said they'll release patches once a week until 'fixed' - whatever they deem as fixed.

I've been playing the game on a 7970M and apart from this vegetation setting I've got the game set on extreme and it averages 35fps which is playable and good enough..

Does anybody know if it's possible to separate a spy from an army on the campaign map?

I had an army in enemy territory and so joined a nearby spy to reduce chances of enemy actions on my good general.

However I now cannot separate the spy! I've even tried going back to friendly territory... Am I missing something?
