First Impressions

I don't know how people are having lag issues - TURN DOWN THE GRAPHICS - I have a 2 year old i5 with what was a decent graphics card back then and it runs fine
Its not CA's fault your comp can't run high graphics games, they stated from the start, if you can run S2 you can run R2.

Some comments to that.

There are people can run S2TW just fine but R2TW lags considerably.
My PC is above recommended specs and the experience is not smooth. Also it will not get considerably better if I turn down the graphics. CA advertised it as very scalable. At the moment it's not.
The "Enhanced for Intel Core" looks like "runs bad on AMD".

At the end I'm pretty sure (read 'hope') the performance issues will be adressed via patch or new graphic drivers.
