Ej peoples

First of all my pc specs:

E6600 2 gig ram 7900 GTX in the gold demo could run 10 K easily. Now.

When i play big battles with multiple enemey's en friends. they won't show on the battle. ( Reinforcement Delayed ) and it says that it's beyond normal performance bla bla bla. witch is btw bull.. But in the demo i could run 10K and now it stops with 5... In rome you could use the command in preferences.cfg

unlimited_men_on_battle TRUE

now that line is cut and gone .. plz tell me how i can change this so i can normally play this game. thx!!!

Can't you just ignore it or did you mean the AI delaying your reenforcements. I had a look through the preferences file but I couldn't see an option for that, unless it's somewhere else or I'm blind...

As far as I know, there is a command to turn of the limit for the number of men in one of the configuration files, somebody mentioned it a few days ago.

Ok Great.. i knew it was possible.. but where is that "Somebody" ":P

And i used to be in the preferences file.. but it's gone

I think it was someone at twcenter, but their forums seem to be down at the moment.

It as something like unlimited_men_on_battlefield = true/false.

lol . Something like that, I didn't really pay that much attention to it as I haven't encountered this problem yet. Come to think of it maybe I should fix it before I get that message, as it would be annoying mid-battle.

Wow, the specs listed in the original post are of a near top of the line system. I'm surprised it can't run the game properly. Makes me wonder if perhaps the game can't properly handle hardware that is too top of the line (ie: other games have had problems handling dual cores). Of course I'm no technician, and I don't know any of the technicalities of M2TW, so this is just a wild guess on my part.

They definitely should fix the issue in the original post immediately.

You know why this is so funny is that in custom battle i can play with more men it runs great even beyond the recommended settings.. but in the campaign it's a different story.. they just get delayed....

Hi,

Long time lurker, first time poster...

I've seen this occur myself, even with enemy armies. A message appears saying that pretty much my comp sucks and that I should consider upgrading in order to have so many units onscreen at once.

Yet, a short time after the battle commences, the reinforcements arrive... Bizarre, no?

**Darkmoor_Dragon** · 11-14-2006, 20:46

you know i never even noticed the message - i just saw the "reinforcements delayed" icon drop down and immediately cancelled it off the screen. Seems that this has been happening to me all along and never realised it.

I've got a pretty much top-flight system also.. interestingly turning every single option to uber-low doesnt make the slightest bit of difference either - i still get the message. Considering I can run the game full-on with everything maxed and not a hint of lag anywhere this is a pretty bizarre revelation.

So, gods yes!, how is it turned off!???
