you just happen to have one of those laptops with huge, high resolution screen and old (or crappy) video card. you have only to blame your system because it's really unbalanced, and either reduce drastically the resolution and live with it or save money to get a decent desktop.
I actually have the laptop connected to an external monitor. It's a great laptop (purchased as a desktop replacement) but unfortunately I bought it right before the DX10 cards came out. I was leaving for Iraq in a week and didn't have time to wait for the release, which means I have no one to blame but myself. It was hyped as a "modular" laptop, but they failed to mention that the mobo was NOT modular and I pretty much screwed myself. Only way to upgrade is to send it back, pay for a new mobo and new card.
Crap.

You're about where you should be I'd say. You need a better GPU. The rest of you machine is great but the GPU is the single most important component when it comes to games these days and yours is 4 generations old. You can expect anything else I'm sorry.
The other option is to run at 1920x1200 drop everything down to low settings and then start with 2xAA and then begin with some of the check boxes like HRD, Hardware shadows etc etc.
You can pick up the latest cards for around 150 USD equivalent...my recommendation...do it. :beam:
well thanks for the explanation but that doesn't change much. Your video card can't support those resolutions with this game, maybe you can try something like 1440x900 but probably you'll still have problems. To be honest I don't know any laptop video card that can run recent games in 1900x1200, maybe only some SLI configuration, and anyway it would cost you really a lot.Quote:

Everyone talks about maxing out the game, but for those of us who have to tweak the settings, I would interested in what order to turn up or down the settings. Which is the most intensive use of system resources etc...

i am able to run it with the new 13" in macbook that has
2.0ghz core 2 duo
2 gigs RAM
NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics processor with 256MB
Windows 7 beta
sure, it runs on low but it's definitely playable.
From what I have read I think my computer should be able to handle this. (Although still a while away from buying - M2TW is fine for now)
The only thing I am worried about is the processor. Can somebody please confirm that this may handle the game?
Operating System: Windows XP (Service Pack 3)
Processor: 2.33GHz Intel Core 2 Duo CPU ( I heard the Duo's are ok is this true?)
System Memory: 3.5GB Ram
Graphics Card: 640MB NVIDIA 8800GTS DirectX 9.0c
Plenty of free space on my hard drive ( over 230GB)
Cheers.
Yep, dual-cores are fine.

Thanks in advance.
Now I have to buy a new pc but how am i supposed to do that during this credit crunch? i hate economic crisis... at least i still have medieval 2....
I'm on a laptop and i downloaded the demo from steam and it ran decent. I was wondering if i buy the game will it run just like the demo did? My laptop specs are:
AMD Athlon X2 64 Dual-Core QL62 2.00GHz
2GB of RAM running Vista
Nvidia GeForce 8200M G
from a thread i started, people said that the full game actually runs better than the demo! i had the same question, hope this helps! :2thumbsup:Quote:

Kind of disappointing since it ran M2TW fine on high. Guess I'll just have to shelve the game for a couple years until I buy a new system.

Hi everyone.
I've been a bit of a lurker on these boards for a while now, but would find it really helpful if anyone could answer this question about hardware:
I'm looking to buy a new laptop that is portable enough to be carried round libraries easily (I'm a student). However, I'm also pretty keen to run Empire!
I've found one candidate, which has:
Intel® Centrino® 2 Processor Technology T6400 (2.00GHz) 800MHz FSB with 2Mb Cache
Display: 12.1” WXGA (1280x800) SuperBright© Gloss LCD TFT
System Memory: 4Gb (2x 2Gb) DDR2 800MHz (Actual Capacity 3.2Gb)
NVIDIA GeForce 9200M GS (256Mb)
Is this good enough to run Empire? I don't mind low settings but obviously if it's really jerky/painful then it's a waste of money.
Thanks ~:)
You are on the edge there Meph. You really need a better card and a better processor.
Hi, Thanks for the advice. The problem is that as processor speed and graphics capability go up, portability goes down, so I guess I'm pushing the boundaries a little to try and get both satisfactory performance and portability with a single machine. I'm prepared for the fact that it'll be slow... but if it's still enjoyable then I don't mind. Any more thoughts?Quote:

Try waiting, for a really long time, hit Esc a few times at launch to bypass the sega, intel etc. intro's if the sounds going it should load the main screen eventually & then go straight into options & change your settings back down to low.Quote:

The game goes faster running in a window? I've always avoided that because I thought it slowed things down. :clown:

Biggley, sorry but you thought about reinstalling it? Maybe the easiest option.
Since posting about the window I changed the PC's power consumption to burn rainforest & now have full screen running really well on high, think I could probably manage highest, but just want to play atm.
As Terry said, the info on the window's off the official site, it certainly helped get low setting running well, judged on flag movement being smooth, no scrolling delays, buttons activate immediatly when pressed etc. The in game movies were still lagged to the point where they weren't worth watching, but the game ran well. Also if you're having to reduce the display size its generally less fuzzy in a window
I have:
Windows XP Service pack 2
2.8 GHz Intel Pentium Dual Core CPU
2.00 GB RAM
256MB Nvidia GeForce graphics card (I'm not sure what number but I think it's either 5600 or 6400)
I can only run ETW on low graphics settings (medium causes serious frame rate issues).
Would simply upgrading my graphics card be enough to allow me to use High or even ultra settings?
If so, what graphics card would be best?
Yes your Graphics card is really under spec.
Get a 9000 series or a new 260 or 280 and you'll be on High settings for sure.
By 9000 series do you mean like a GeForce 9600 or something?
Will it work on my PC? Should I upgrade anything else for ETW?
A 9600 or 9800 would be excellent. Go to SP 3 on XP make sure you have the latest drivers installed, remove as many applications from auto running on your machine as possible, defrag and clean up your HDD. Then give it a shot. If it doesn't do enough then you really need a new machine.
Swapping processors gets a little tricky.
Unfortunately it's not possible to give you too much advise on whether this type of GPU will work on your machine as we would need a fairly detailed discussion.
You can go to the hardware section of the forum and ask a fwe of the helpful chaps there.
Thanks. will do.

I just ordered the 9800 online. One thing that I didn't think of however, was that you have to make sure your computer power supply is up to specs. Mine was seriously underpowered (375 watts) so I ended up sending away for a new one. Maybe this won't be an issue for you, but I thought I'd mention it.
Terry
Both my CPU and RAM are over the requirments for ETW, what im wondering about though is the graphics card. I have a ATI Radeon X600 pro with 256 ram. Anyone know how that will hold up? It runs MTW2 without problems.
Mine crashes during both campaign and battle games. Are these sufficient specs:

Volum,
I would think that the graphics card would be the the big requirement for this game. I know it is for me. I"m at low to medium for most settings, so like I have been doing for 20 years, I am getting a new part for just one game. I told my wife that all our other programs will look so much better.
Terry
My laptop which made MTWII scream wont let me open a Battle.
2046 MB of RAM
AMD Turion 64X2 2.0Ghz
What do I need to upgrade?
Machine bought when MTWII came out.
I play Mostly Rome TW Europa Barbarorum. Awesome Mod!
Do I need a new Machine to Play ETW?
I bought the Special Edition (it was last one left on March 4th)
Didn't know if that had any effect.
Thanks for your help

I don't see your graphics card anywhere, and unless your processor is a dual-core, it is under min requirements.
I changed everything on my PC but the box, & power supply which was 4 pins short of the slot on the motherboard. Although the Smart Doctor that comes with the card said I was under power it came with a jack to connect up with the fan power cables.Quote:

Even if your processer is dual-core, it's under the min requirements, since it only uses the equivalent of a single core.Quote:

Besides the map lag which seems to be the same for everyone and the odd split second framerate freeze during battle the game runs well on shader 3 high medium textures large unit size AAX2 and everything else on medium or low, runs with high or ultra textures ok with AA off but I can't stand the jagged lines and it causes the framerate freezes to be more frequent.
@ PrimusPilus what's you're graphics card?
Can't see why it won't even let you load up a battle, have you updated your card drivers?
If anyone is not sure if their PC will run ETW I would try the demo first and if that works then in theory so should the game, well it did for me anyway.
LDC
Nar, that be the demo that is unoptimized like that.
And your processor is under min. specs.
Okay i already bought empire unfortunately it doesn't work on my old laptop luckily i was already planning to buy a new laptop in a couple of weeks.
Anyways hopefully empire will run on this new one here's the link:
http://www1.ca.dell.com/content/prod...hs1&l=en&s=dhs
I'm going to most likely get the version for 599$ and will it be able to run empire hopefully at around medium-high?
You will have trouble, the graphics card is integrated.
I've posted this before. The system requirements say:
Operating System: Windows XP 32(service pack 2), Windows Vista 32 OS.
Processor: 2.4 GHz Single Core Intel or AMD equivalent processor.
System Memory: 1GB RAM (XP) 2GB RAM (Vista).
Graphics Card: 256MB DirectX 9.0c compatible video card (shader 2.0 or higher).
Sound Card: Directx9.0c compatible sound card.
Windows compatible mouse & keyboard.
15 GB free uncompressed hard drive space.
Mine is:
http://www.compusa.com/applications/...&sku=H24-15039
My Processor Speed is 2.0 GHz
Processor Type is Dual Core - this is okay?
Your GPU is barely OK - and you are only getting 2 Gigs of RAM - with Vista. But the real deal breaker here is the GPU:
http://www.notebookcheck.net/ATI-Rad...00.9591.0.htmlQuote:
Still older games like Doom 3 or Quake 4 should be barly playable. Compared to older onboad graphic chips (e.g., GMA X3100), the HD 3200 is much faster. Even the Centrino 2 graphics core (X4500HD) should be slower than the HD 3200.
It's an integrated grahics "card" and that means low/no performance for ETW.
Hey Guys,
I think it's time for a new computer for me. I'm desperately looking for another computer and thinking of buying a Dell with the following specs. Do you guys think the following specs are more than enough to play Empire? Thanks in advance!
PROCESSOR Intel® Core™2 Quad processor Q8200 (4MB L2, 2.33GHz, 1333FSB)
OPERATING SYSTEM Genuine Windows Vista® Home Basic Service Pack 1
MEMORY 3GB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 800MHz - 4 DIMMs
HARD DRIVE 320GB Serial ATA Hard Drive (7200RPM) w/DataBurst Cache™
VIDEO CARD ATI Radeon HD 3450 256MB supporting HDMI
That video card looks way weak, I've never had one of those but judging by the charts atQuote:

high graphics for empire ( is good after turning down a couple options ).
the rest of the system looks good. a video card in the 100 - 120 range would probably keep up with games for a couple years, they look 50% faster than mine which is surely fine for this game.
Thanks for the response. I have another option to get a Radeon ATI HD 2600 XT 256MB with the Dell's configuration. What's your opinion on that? Or should I not buy a video card when I buy the Dell and just upgrade it myself when I buy one at Best Buy? Thanks again.
For like 70-80 at newegg.com ( best buy, ick ) you could get a far better HD 4670 ( the HIS Radeon HD 4670 IceQ is 70 ) or for a little more still an nvidia 9600 GT.Quote:

and searching for "inspiron 518 4670" turns up that people dont think the 581s power supply is powerful enough for it ( for example ), but that the nvidia 9500 is fine.
The memory size you need depends on what resolution you'll be running at and I think the texture size ( in this game at least ), 256 is probably good enough up to 1680x1050 but most come with 512 mb now which is definitely enough for 1680x1050 and good enough for 1920x1200 . Anyhow, if they're charging you like $60 for it, you can get a better card ( maybe much depending on the power supply needs ) and upgrade yourself, then you'll have a spare one for emergencies ( they happen! ).
computers are far too complicated.
Looking at a new desktop from Dell. The XPS system they have has the following graphics card in it:
1GB ATI Radeon 3870
Ok for ETW?

I used to have lag on the campaign map but I switched to windows 7 from Vista and now I don't have any lag. Hmm.
Hi all,
My problem is this:-
I can play battles on the custom battle setup (albeit slow as hell), but not on the campaign. I'm pretty sure my computer meets the specs for the game. I'm thinking maybe it's a RAM issue, although I have 3G of RAM. Any thoughts o wise ones?
List your spec
Off hand (not at home at the mo):-
Dell dimension 4600
Pentium 4 ht
ge force graphics card (can't recall model but newly bought and I am assured by a mate who's computer savvy it's up to it) 512mb
3 gig ram 2x 1g + 2x 512 mb
plenty of space on hard drive (ie 112gig or so)
all recent drivers (I think)
How old is it? I glanced on the internet and the ram all appears to be ddr which will be way slow for this game (I doubt many has anything less than ddr2). It also appears to be an integrated graphics card which wont cope well but if you specify there is a dedicated card did it come with the computer? if so it is 2 years old and is having trouble coping. CPU is not perfect but should do.
The type of ram, ddr vs. ddr2 vs ddr3, is tied to the cpu / motherboard. Can't change it w/o changing a lot of things, but I really doubt it would be a limiting problem, just cuz I think it's overhyped. The cpu might be as there were a wide range of 'pentium 4s' produced.
Try adjusting your graphics settings to the lowest, if it clears up your problem then adjust them up until it's as good as you can get w/o boggyness. At a minimum that should help eliminate some possible causes of your issue.
Hmm. The Ram is definately DDR. The comp is second hand so not sure how old it is. The card is brand new and bought esp for the game so should be up to it. Do you think that adding more RAM will sort out the problem? I would think that if it can run custom scenarios but not campaign, the difference may be that there is a problem with it retaining information from the campaign as well that is pushing it over the brink. But my technical know how is v limited.Quote:

What is the CPU speed?
Ok, I have a 2.67ghz intel dual core, geforce 8800 vidcard, and 4 gigs of ram, and I'm getting out of video memory crash on campaign battles still. No problems in custom battles. This is the memory leak issue with the game people were talking about?
Yes, could be - go here and follow the directions:Quote:

If that is the case then I would pass on ETW.
@woad&fangs
you should be able to play but I can never figure out what video card macbooks actually have.
As Barkhorn said you're at the low end, but try the demo and see how that works. Mine plays pretty similar to how that went.
And 'bootcamp' is like dualboot for apples, so it's running windows from boot not in emulation.
Hi guys,
good to finally join the forums. I just have a quick query- thanks for your help!
I have a new computer coming, finally! It's spec's are:

6GB (3X2GB) Tri-Channel DDR3 SDRAM at 1066MHz- 3 DIMMs
1024MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 285
I'm pretty sure (hopefully!) it will run ok, but not sure at what settings; does anyone have an idea?
Thanks!
No idea, how do I find out?Quote:

Quick question not so related: How much does cost a rig capable of this game?
I'm about ready to build a PC to run ETW. I'd like to put together something that can absolutely rock ETW on the highest settings at 1900X1200 resolution. This will also be the first PC I've built (yikes!)
What adjustments would you make?

HD: Wesern Digital Caviar SE16 640GB SATA
OS: Vista 32
The complete list of components I'd buy for this is here at Newegg. Thanks for any tips on this setup!
Also, I'm wondering if ETW runs significantly better on Vista 64; from what I've read Vista 64 is a huge headache to manage.
Edit: Caius, obviously I am not qualified answer your question, but this might be helpful to you -- the configuration I'm thinking of buying came from this popular blog post about building the ultimate $600 gaming machine (monitor, mouse & keyboard not included.)
@ Flavius - Vista 64-bit is fine, I run it and besides the memory leak problem there are no issues whatsoever. You should be fine but you may need to turn down the shadows sections. My card is almost equal to yours and I can play everything on ultra (including 500 man units) but I need shadows off. I suspect this to be an issue with modern graphics cards. But it will run very well.
Thanks for the link. Looks like a good option, Flavius. And way cheaper. The Pc I have is "old", it has 2 years but it is very old for Medieval II, let alone Empire.Quote:
