OK, I have there machines on which I tried it:

Athlon XP2000+ with WinXP and GeForce MX400

Sometimes loads a new game. Almost never loads a saved game. Can sometimes play for 3 hours straight. Often cannot get the scenario file to complete loading whether a new or saved game.

Athlon XP1600+ with Win98 and GeForce MX 100/200

CTD after first installing and rebooting like it wanted. Then second time it ran for 2 minutes. Then third time it ran for 10 minutes. Now I cannot get into windows without safe mode!

Athlon Tbird 1400 with Win98 and Matrox 450 dual-head

Upon reboot after install it never saw windows again!

Hi,

Pentium 4 2.4G
GeForce 4 Ti 4200 Abit Siluro

I get booted to desktop about once every 30 minutes when playing an RTS game. I've hand no problem with the Conquer the World portion.
I occasionally get the machine completely reset. Goes to a black screen and then immediately to a reboot as if I turned the powerstrip of an on.
No other game I have does this...

All game features work except intro movies, which I would have turned off by now anyways. Quick Battle runs fine, no crashes. CTW runs fine, no crashes.

FPS is about 29, which is adequate, not good, not excellent, just adequate.

All feature parameters are maxed out in the Options menu, and I have high-res maps and everything else.

Interesting link below is by "gamegeek" at BHG discussing tweaks you can try in rise2.ini to enhance performance. They all worked for me. If the link gets filtered out, go over to heavengames, go to RON, and you should be able to find the tweaks thread. Caveat emptor, of course.

Runs like a drunken snail through a bowl of caramel. FPS is 30, if I'm lucky, at the lowest settings possible (I've tried almost EVERYTHING [see my post "Choppy FPS Issues"]). Averages about 20 throughout the game and about 4 during battles and if I have a population of over 150. This is all vs. 1 computer, mind you. The game hits 1 FPS if I have like 5 comps and then will crash.

But the game loads OK, albeit slowly, and I haven't had any issues with CTW or anything (besides FPS issues).

So, with all those video problems, have you got the game running yet? It's nice to have a game with a decent AI for once, isn't it? Unfortunately I don't see a MedMod arriving anytime soon, but can we expect to see any nice maps or scenarios for this game from you?

I have the game running spotty Locutus. I am not happy with the reliability of it yet and I have serious problems with saved games running (if at all). But I am going to Europe for a month and won't be able to work on this until I come back. I'll probably also start with buying and building a new system.

I do expect to work on some scenarios for this one though and certainly some maps! I spent a good deal of time after CTP2 on modding EU and then beta tested EU2 which was a hoot. Since then I been busy with consulting and haven't immersed myself in a game. But this one looks promising and sufficiently "strategic" to draw my attention! And you know it - the AI in this one is much improved over some of the crap we dealt with on CTP!

BTW you ever played EU or EU2? There are 2 new games that Paradox is intending to offer that look great too and that I would like to get involved in when they ask for beta folks. YOu would be a great help to the Paradox folks, BTW.

I've tried some EU2 and loved the concept, but for some reason can't seem to get into it. No matter what I try, within a few years my empire always seems to collaps into a deep economic crisis. This usually leads to me being overrun by enemies as I can't build/maintain armies. Kind of takes the fun out of it...

I still have it installed on my HDD and occassionally try a game to see if I can get over this problem and start enjoying the game ('cause I know I will, once I get the hang of it), but so far no luck

Update to my prior post, running 2.2 GHz P4 with 512 Meg, GeForce4 440 Go with 32 Meg Ram, was only getting 29 fps max, usually down to 15 during city views and abyssmal, like maybe 2 fps, during battles.

At the advice of BHG updated audio drivers (already updated video drivers), went into Rise2.ini set all grade options to "A," turned off VSync, set texture compression to "FULL," set resolution to 1240 x 768 x 16 and saw improvement!

Max fps now 58, dropping to 29 to 30 fps but holding rock steady there, with decline to 17 fps during heavy battles. Tried all the above before updating my audio driver, still had lower than desirable fps. Updating the audio driver actually worked.
