    I dowloaded the demo, I have the system requirements and this takes 4 min to load a battle map and the game has choppy video. it stutters every 2 seconds. Does this demo need a patch? I would like to play this game if it would work right. All the other MTWs have worked ok for me, but this isn't any fun if its like this I more than sufficient RAM and a 256 mb vid card

    The demo is a very old version of the game. It has changed a lot since.

    Thanks Beskar. I heard there have been a lot of patches since the release, so I think I will try it.

    Hi folks, just purchased ETW and when I click through to begin playing any of the games or the tutorial I get a screen full of choppy graphics, although the sound is fine.

    My Specs on my brand new laptop are;

    Intel Core2 Duo T6500 @ 2.1Ghz
    ATI Radeon 4600
    With 4Gb of RAM.

    I have checked DirectX 9.0 and that seems fine. Is my graphics card the issue?

    Regards,
    CM

    Thanks,

    Got somewhere, by turning the screen res down to 1270x768 and then running same screen res within ETW. Also ran Shader 2.0 instead of 3. Seems to work fine now, decent speed without setting the world on fire.
