What are the system requirements for M2TW?

**Kourutsu** · 09-30-2006, 00:33

It sucks having OCD. Even the slightest lag makes me want to stop playing.

I can't bear to run on minimum. I mean for RTW, I have it on all the best settings. All the extras are on as well! And even the largest battles dont lag!

Then again...with MTW 2 having graphics to the equivalence of pure crystal meth...I suppose toning them down wont matter.

I understand you're pain my friend.
Going from Highest to Medium is not something I really want to think about.

I have an outdated Pentium 4 Processor @ 3.2GHz, 1.5 GB DDR2 RAM, 7200 RPM Seagate HD, and a brand new Geforce 7600GT. I can run the game on almost the highest graphic settings on 1280x1024 without experiencing any lag.

I know that the game supports dual-core processors, but does it actually take advantage of them? I'm eye-balling an AMD FX2 5300+ on Newegg.com for only $125 right now... I'm just not ready to purchase a different motherboard.

M2:TW alone doesn't take advantage of the extra core. The Kingdoms add-on is claimed to do so, but the research of some members seems to state otherwise.
Hope this helps, good luck, cheers!

I finally picked this up a couple of weeks ago. I was enjoying most of it right away...until I got into siege situations. The whole thing spit and stuttered like a car with an inefficient exhaust system. It slowed to an absolute crawl. Dipping into task manager to close down "unnecessary" items didn't work too well.

As of right now I have an Asrock board with 2.4 GHz chip, and 512MB 184 pin RAM, and 512 168 pin RAM. I am looking at swapping out the 184 pin for a 1GB stick but I don't know if 1GB 168 pin RAM is available. Will the extra 500GB help? I'm really not sure.

I've been thinking about building my own box lately, and this might be the thing that pushed me over the brink.

Hi All,

I know I'm pushing my luck here with a non-MTW query but I have a graphics problems & wondered if anyone had any advice.

I have an nvidia fx5500 & MTW2 runs OK on low settings with all the options off! I have tried to upgrade before but found that the newer cards don't fit into my dell motherboard - the slots are different shapes (to use the technical phrase!).

Any help would ne much appreciated, I did try to ring dell but as anyone in the UK will be able to tell you, they have moved from Ireland & are now impossible to use.

Thanks in advance

Henry
