Ok, here's the lowdown. I went out and purchased Rome: TW a few days ago. I installed it, and it runs fine, for about 5-10 min

. It then freezes on me. I've checked the requirements on it, and my computer can handle it, or so it would seem

. If any one has any suggestions, plz let me know, this is hindering me from excuiting my plan for taking over the world

Hard to say w/o any system specs or history of how your system performs.
All I can think of from that description is: do you have appropriate drivers? do you have the proper version of dx9? what (if anything) do you run in the background...virus scanner/update programs/fax...etc.

If you have the Demo installed delete it and then reinstall Rome:TW. I have read in other posts that the Demo version can cause problems. Not sure if it's true, but worth a shot.

Yo Narib, Welcome to the ORg, do you have an FX 5600 ? these have issues with heat like many other graphics cards, the patch makes no differance AFAIK..
