Now that I won't be allocating any free time to RTW I will be dedicating all my time to the best strat game around now that CA clearly don't want this number 1 spot anymore!

Wach this space...

Roger that !

ohh btw I was out of TW since late MTW:VI, I hoped for the best in RTW MP but now yeah I can assure you (CA) that I won't be buying RTW (unless it's patched to normalcy in MP). I thought I'd buy it for SP, but then again do I really have that much time ? did I not suffer endless hours of crashes with MTW ? Yes I did..... Am I a fool to do it again ? Nope.

I will be around on these forums, since I like them and I like the people here.
See you around !

Sinan, I just bought it and im put off already.

I have not even been able to play a game yet. I got to the lobby once and was so disgusted by the 1980's geocities style interface i had to leave!

I have heard of beta testing but this takes the P***

TBH,

I can only recommend that all of us that have the choice to return our games do so until the patch is out! and if the patch aint done it's job return it again!

There are no excuses from CA to do a bad job on the patch because there are some fantastic topics on here that have already listed the most importatnt bugs, problems, etc

Baz when you do get in a game your gonna be shock at just how ugly is looks there too :(

What cracks me up is CAs single response has been that the people in the lobby seem to be having fun.

What most of these players don't realize however is that with the sync issues; they aren't even playing the same game as the other players in their game - LOL!

I'm sure CA will be defensive about the multiplayer and right these complaints off as "can't please the die hards wargamers" or whatever they said in the interview. But make no mistake. These issues with multiplayer aren't rants. The multiplayer right now is a complete failure to deliver even a mediocre online gaming experience.

:(

This was going to be my first TW game which I would seriously consider being well versed in the MP part of it. I wanted to get good from the beginning and learn new strats along with the rest of the community. Oh wait - what community? This micky mouse developement of the MP experience is driving core members off in droves (as this thread indicates) and forever snubs new recruits who wanted to see what TW MP was all about. Unless a massive patch is released which fixed these MP bugs, the terrible grouping problems and AI deficiencies (to name but a few) - then I can't see myself even being interested in the SP portion or even this forum. There's no need in talking about a game which is hamstringed by problems which should have long been adressed. I've never seen such a lack of polish on a product.

I don't know ... I mean the game shipped with 3 showstopper bugs in multiplayer (sync issue, crash to desktop and memory leak). In addition, we've got lots of other things that are steps backwards from MTW. So at this point the most we can expect from a patch is to get a close to MTW multiplayer game with better graphics.

Right?

Well,

All we can hope for at the moment is that CA team read these forums and have the decency to let us know what is going on! In the mean time lets just list as much as we can so they can correct everything!

STW and MTW never had any where near as bad a response as this game, and to be honest they need to be working over time to get it right or it will be too late.
