Ok normally this is not a problem, but in Jaffa my computer,
1.6ghz intel
128mb radeon8500
768 MB pc133 sdram
was eating some serious flaming dog poo. This was with the sound turned to minimum quality as well! Im pretty upset that my decent system is sucking butt in every 3d game once more than a few units get onscreen at once.

From what I remember with shogun/mi, my far inferior (amd750/256mb pc100 ram/matrox G400 32mb ram) system had no problems handling massive battles all the way up to 2v2 online. (Yeah 3v3 would be slow but its that way for every 1).
#3.
I think the 'improved' models are largely to blame. They probably take alot more rescources to render. I would be much happier with less-realistic but more distinct models (*cough* warcraft 3 *cough* but scaled-down in polygon count) and let the textures be simple with bold colors so that the models look like GOOD video-game troops instead of mediocre realistic-looking troops.
#4.
Personally I dont think these new models make the game any better to me than shogun's units. Graphically the game remains far inferior to most games and doesnt look much better than shogun at all!
#5.
I would get occasional serious graphics problems that would crash the game if I didnt IMMEDIATELY Alt-Tab out. Alt-Tabbing out then opening the game again would fix the corruption.
If anyone has info or anything about being able to get better performance (after the sound is already turned off), or if maybe these problems are only the result of a shoddy beta? I would be very grateful for any response, thanks in advance.
