On 3 Dell laptops, the demo works pretty good, except for
the 'memory leak?'. The game starts off fairly smooth and
nice, and maybe after hmm 30 minutes i guess.. the display
starts moving in slow motion and everything starts using
virtual memory. HD light just stays on the whole time.
I literally have to cold re-boot the laptops.. all of em..
The time varies from maybe 17 to 30 mins, depending on how
long i leave the game idle it seems.
On a Windows 2000 Server (Home built) Duel-p3 933 Mhz
on a clean W2k install.. Service Pack 2 and direct X 8.1a
installed.. The game crashes upon trying to start.
Same system with Windows 98SE (OEM) AoW2 Beta works until
you enter combat.. then BOOM.. illegal operation.
In my opinion.. this game was Rushed.. even a beta
shouldn't bomb this much. 4 different machines and each one
crashes or has multiple problems just in the first stage of
playing or attempting to start.
I just hate to see a re-make of my all time favorite get
a crappy repoduction. This reminds me of UBI Soft's
remake of Pools of Radiance.. god.. i cant believe
company's feel justified in producing such programming
trash from the works of art they originated from.
Please don't screw this up like UBI did with Pools of Raidance. Follow BioWare's footsteps like Warcraft..
release it when it's ready. AoW2 isn't even close to
ready, but yet my local store says it's being
release in 2 to 3 weeks. ugh!
