I just recently stumbled upon this thread in the RTR forums. I gave it a try and it does improve your game!

Just found out that you can GREATLY improve RTW/RTR/BI gameplay, allowing you to up your settings by at LEAST one notch, all for free, and without any risk, by doing the following.

Start RTW

Alt-Tab to Windows

Press Ctrl-Alt-Del for the Windows Task Manager

go to the Processes tab

Select Rome-TW.exe or Rome-TW-BI.exe (so the gray bar moves to it)

Rightclick your mouse to get the options and choose Set Priority

Set Priority to High

[EXPLICITLY NOT to Realtime, that's NOT what you want, it will cause trouble]

That's it.

Expect to be amazed on some setups, pleased on just about all.

You have to set this one manually every time, only drawback, but I'll see what it does in the registry and make a permanent fix for this.

Later.

I've been watching RTW forums for some time now, and just found this one! So if this is news to you, give it a try!
