Well, PseRamesses, my immediate wish list is as follows:

#1 STABILITY
#2 STABILITY
#3 STABILITY
#4 STABILITY
#5 STABILITY

I'm not sure if CA realizes just how serious this problem is. If many of us (forum trolls) are gridlocked with freezes, BSOD's and CTD's, what about the thousands upon thousands of folks who've bought the game, can't play it, and will never be heard from because they ain't cyber dwellers? Only a relative few check our forums. Fixing anything--anything--else before stabilizing the game is meaningless. This issue is alienating a lot of CA's staunch supporters. I can only guess how the general public must feel about not being able to even play this game.

And I am tired of hearing peeps say its a hardware issue. I can't currently play ETW a full turn without a freeze requiring reboot, but once rebooted I can go right into MTW2 (SS) and play the campaign I was in while waiting for ETW release. And, I might add, I play at 1680X1050 with all settings maxed out. No lag on campaign map, and very little lag on strategic even with multiple stacks and "speed-ups."

I only hope CA can get this corrected before it damages their credibility. My life would have no meaning with TW. OK, that's a little strong. How 'bout, ....................... Nah, on second thought, that's pretty accurate.
