6 hour marathon session... That''ll have been about 10 turns then.

Unnecessary and unhelpful comments abound on this forum I see. :rolleyes:

The seemingly 'game breaking' faults with the game don't come across as all that awful to me. If you didn't experience the original Rome running at 5 fps, then you clearly purchased it a long time after I did. Only the absolute best PC's ran that game full spec at the time the game was released (and even then, not that well).

Point is, TW games have always been about potential, not the state of release.
 
Can Macedon recruit native militaries like Rome does? I think Macedon would have recruit natives had it expanded. I don't think it would make them overpowered either!

I am looking forward to the mods.
 
well after turn 63ish of Iceni, got the whole of the British Isles then the game crashed. Didn't register an epic win then now loading crashes every time I try and bring back the campaign ;/
 
Just over the initial hump of being new to the game.
Was starting to struggle with the economy, but now that is over,
I am really enjoying the game.

Definitely a time sink yeah, lol.
 
Performance is okay for me now aswell, but that's probably due to dropping the settings to very high, the game is ugly as hell on any setting so may as well have smooth framerate. Big problems on the campaign map though, lots of slowdown and stuttering. If you click on one of your armies, and then mouse over an agent, does it lag horrendously for anyone else?
 
Here are the patch notes for Total War: ROME II- Patch 1 (06.09.13):

Higher average frame rates with out-of-the-box settings (more conservative settings)
Fix for DirectX 10.0 Lighting issue reported - environment map wasn't being created leading to black reflections.
Fixed a sunken Samothrace temple complex world wonder on the Campaign map.
Fixed defender being able to create encampments when involved in a combined battle.
Added some localisation fixes to audio packs in French, Russian, Italian, German and Spanish.
Fixed lock up in Multiplayer Campaign battles when a desynchronisation occurs. Players are now notified of the desynchronisation, and the battle ends.
Fixed Multiplayer Campaign battle "overrun" prompt, which was not being shown to a player if they were a reinforcement and the other player was spectating.
Fixed corrupt loading screen when changing to fullscreen / windowed mode after a battle, and then going into another battle.
Fix for Multiplayer Campaign host being unable to move the camera in campaign, after reloading a save game on some rare occasions.
Safe guards added to prevent a very rare crash in coastal assault battles.
Fix for game lock up during end turn sequence / Celtic AI faction turn in single player campaign.
Improved AI use of walls on Athens large settlement battle map.
Improvements to Auto-resolve balancing in Single Player and Multiplayer Campaign modes.
Aligned ship unit upkeep costs with land units - made mercenary ships more expensive and non-mercenary ships cheaper.
Fixed slow turning rates for transport ships.
Improved civil war balancing in relation to campaign difficulty.
Fixed vehicle ground pipes, to prevent Siege Towers becoming immovable when they are left empty during the Deployment Phase of a Siege Battle, then units were moved into the Siege Tower when the battle has started.
Fixed bug when ramming sideways into moving ship, which caused the ramming ship stick to target and strafe along with it in battles.
Reduced the chance of Naval units sometimes clipping through the ground or harbours / ports during Port Assault battles when attempting to disembark.
Fixed issue where armies would be stuck in Muster stance and could not exit that stance in Campaign modes.
Fixed case where spies could get stuck on top of fleets in Campaign modes.
Fixed rare post battle lockup in Campaign modes.
Improved unit pathfinding in Barbarian village battle maps (fixed no go zones).
Fix for Multiplayer Campaign lock up when the player was reinforcing an AI ally who was victorious in battle, causing the player to become stuck with no victory / continue / exit battle user interface functionality.
Fix for cultural influence bonus from the Shrine of Neptune building
Fix for “Zone of Controls” of hidden armies being visible to both players in head to head Multiplayer Campaign mode on mouse-over.
Assorted minor fixes to city battle maps.
Fix for "Rome Wasn't Built in a Day" achievement failing to unlock when its requirements were met in some situations.

Seem to be experiencing my first major bug. My two very wounded stacks got attacked by two much larger, fully fit armies. 18 minutes into the siege and the AI have not moved at all... I don't want to leave the settlement as I'm outnumbered but I Also don't want to sit around for another 40 minutes watching them not attack me.. What should I do?

Yup every time for me. It also happens when you move the cursor near enemy armies and their sphere of influence shows up too.

I started a thread on the official support forums here

I checked GPU/CPU usage while I was testing this out and it showed that GPU/CPU utilisation actually dropped when you hover over the agent etc, very strange!

Brilliant. So 40 minutes in and I had enough and was slaughtering the AI ans the game crashes.. Very, very frustrating. Especially as that was the 2nd siege that the enemy had performed in their turn so I'll have to replay both the 1st and 2nd sieges...
