I started it up and it was a bit slow but nothing like 5 min. It was roughly 2min. The intro started well but became jittery and unstable after the ships.

When I got to the user screen I went to options and checked. It was on custom and had read the machine pretty well, but not wanting to take chances from what was said before I turned them down a bit.

When I left the options however it CTDed. I restarted the demo and skipped the intro…was still a bit jittery though. I went through the two tutorials ok with a load time of about 1min 15sec. For each. Leaving the battles took as long as getting in however.

I tried the naval battle first but was a bit frustrated by the new interface and quit to come here and see how thing were for everyone else.

my rig is a dell XPS M1710 with a few upgrades.
