The Heroes Round Table

If I'm not mistaken the performance takes a big hit in tree-infested maps. Also, lowering every option to very low, no AA/AF doesn't help, you still get the stuttering when facing the rest of the map (even if it's hidden under the fog) Khelavaster A friend of mine who just got the game confirm this...

Soviet efficiency SUPREME

Regarding the performance: I found it to be highly inconsistent. I meet the minimum specifications for Ram and exceed them in CPU and GPU, yet at some times, the game is unplayable for me. Then at others, it runs acceptable. Especially bad are campaign maps (fourth mission of Inferno in particular)...

Pffffff. You have great computer. I'm playing on this.

Athlon XP 1700+
512MB RAM
Ati Radeon 9000Pro (64MB)

And the game works smoothly.

Demo or game?
Be precise.

I have:

P4 1800 mhz
1024 RAM
Geforce fx 5200 256 mb

I can run the demo perfectly on Low setting.
Does this apply to the retail too??

Because they want you to buy the game.

. Oh and lets not forget how overpowered the academy is, they're powerful shooter unit the archmage, is well disgustingly strong. 30 of them, can easily take out 30 priests, but ontop of that they do damage to 4 surrounding squares, so it often decimates most of your troops. Then to top it off they...

Hey, it isn't fair to compare H4 with this piece of junk ! 1) H4 had at least some basic AI. 2) H4 was released with an editor and more than 16 maps. 3) H4 wasn't a H3 clone. 4) H4 needed no supercomputers to run decently on minimal detail. 5) H4 was at least userfriendly. You are so right... Frank...

Copied and pasted from warez forum: 1) Anyways from the custom game i played the AI was pretty shitty. Also the options for a custom game is shitty, you cant custom certain AI, nor can you make teams etc. Kinda stupid. Anyways in my custom game of 8 players, 2 AI got killed within first 5 odd turns(...

This is the delicate magic of a "well done" 3D game.

Probably there are memory leaks....oddly people is saying that cmapign is working well...

Ok, I made further resarch on the net....

I wonder if I can still resign my pre-order...

The only Nival game I played was Blitzkieg, and it plain sucked. Heavy and exceptionally ugly engine, NO A.I., and repetitive to death. Plus, having starforce as habit doesnt make them customer friendly. Lets talk straight, they nned to feed their family, thats the main reason why they accepted the ...

Nival is a Russian enterprise. I dont want to generalize, but as far as I studied, they have no regard for customers, they totally lack this concept, due to the long soviet screwage of economy. All they care for is salary. In the end, it was a bad move to hire them. Let them produce their mediocre s...

It is clear that the game needed at least another couple of months...

I red the comments...things like "Sev." instead of "Several" are a clear sign of lazyness.

My suggestion to FC:
For the future patches and expansions...scrap the lazy unprofessional Nival guys please.

Enough, lets talk of more important issues.

Any of the warez kiddies taked about the strategic AI??

Typical russian efficiency....I should have known. I studied it just a hour ago in my course of "Economy and Management of foreign enterprises".... Well...I just hope that I will change idea, Im not going to cancel the pre-order. Fabrice wont let the game be trash, I trust him. However, if...

Wait....SIX MAPS????

Im starting to worry about my pre-order

Its a real pity that the game was leaked, but it was normal. Everygame gets leaked. Age of empires3, made by the all-mighty Microsoft, was leaked 1 MONTH before the release. There's nothing we can do about it. Except expressing our gratitude to Ubi by buy their game. FC granted us all kinds of conce...

This skill system looks a bit...irrational...all these pre-requisites...is going to take A LOT of time to memorize that stuff...
