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.
