Windows 7

[vartan]

I never even actually installed RTW on Windows 7. I had it on XP on my second harddrive, and when I dual booted windows 7, I ran EB without having to reinstall anything.

Performance wise, however, I find that on windows 7 the game slightly lags. I don't mean that the frame rate is lower (in fact it's the exact same), but more like it's skipping a frame or 2 per second. It's like when you're playing a game online and your internet connection is bad, so that your character keeps skipping around. It's kind of like that. I don't exactly know if it's because of me not updating my graphics card, but I rather doubt it as I think I've installed the latest ones online.

Just my 2 cents.

I run everything far faster than I ever did before now that I have Win 7 Pro 64. Why? I don't know. Ask Microsoft.

Still think it skips a frame or two, had this with any game so far.

Frame rate cannot stay the same and skip 2 per second at the same time. Either frame rate drops by 2 (it is still frames per second we're talking about) or it stays the same.

Anyways performing the upgrade myself right now; and the goal will be to install RTW in Program Files yet have EB work from elsewhere. (I.e. a setup like RTW in "C:\Program Files x86\Activison\Creative Assembly\RomeTW\" and EB in "C:\Users\Tellos Athenaios\Games\EB\Copy1\".)

No problems with Windows 7 Professional 64Bit so far. *Happy*

It didn't work to use Program Files; although it might work if you didn't have spaces in your Username....

Anyways a plain EB installation certainly *does* work in Windows 7, although if you use 64bit Windows it is certainly advisable to use a program such as CFF Explorer to allow RTW to use more than 2GB of RAM.

I installed EB 1.2 on my new win7 x32 laptop, works great, only difference is that everything is a lot faster!

Hi,

I've got x64 system and many CTD. Mostly during loading phase before and after battle (where screens with ancient ruler's coins appear, etc.). What is also interesting about this loading phase, there is 1 or 2 blinks where my desktop is shown and sometimes it crashes, sometimes continues without any error.
I applied all suggestions mentioned in https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showt...=1#post2371376 except editing header file.
Problem didn't disappear and also performance is lower than before. Loading phase is longer, I've got lags during battles.

Any ideas what may help in this case?
