Is this a big mod??

[Voodo chile]

Is roma surrectum a large mod. By that i mean. Will it be slower than Europa Barborum??
I never got to play that mod well because it took 5 mins to start up and the campaign map was slow as hell. Rome total Realism was fine. Is RS the same?

[martyr]

EB uses A LOT of scripts.

i think RS2 keeps it to a bare minimum

[algorath]

RS is much faster than EB (long time since i played EB though)
Takes about 5-15 seconds for the ai-turns to finish (depending on ur PC and AI expansion)

[Visarion]

what about the campaign map? the EB one had a lot of frames...

[dvk901]

RS2 plays and behaves like RS1.6 in my opinion. The battles may be a bit more laggy on slower systems, but not much.

[Voodo chile]

yea well i got it and it is better than EB but the loading times are pretty atrocious. 4-5mins load time.
Any specific things that i can do on my computer to lower loading times?

Then your computer sucks a big one.

[Timefool]

That is an insanely high load time? Are you using a really outdated system? If you are, I highly recommend you get a better computer.

Use game booster and defrag your PC. Also make sure that you uses the latest drivers.

hmm thanks cool programme , free'd only 75mb ram for me but usefull ^^ , and i use 1.5 TWR patch now i dont have memory leaks , but overall my pc is fine , all games on quality + driver of nvidia on Quality.

[Voodo chile]

cheers for the game booster thing. But i thought. I'm running it on normal scale with lagg. RS 2 is coming out sometime this year. And did the math and found out about 20mins wasted every hour of RS campaign gameplay. So yea im getting a better comp

[Anubis88]

I have perhaps a silly question and a bit of topic question... is the unit resolution 512 x 256 or 256 x 128?
My computer just can't handle the 512 ones.
EB works like a charm, while RTR can't work even on normal unit sizes...

I would think the resoulution must be 512, giving the details i was seeing in the previews

[apple]

RTR is far more demanding from my own tests. Test RS 1.6a. RS 2 should only be a bit more demanding than RS 1.6a.

I guess you mean 1.6.
Well, yeah, that's what the environment does. But there are quite enough options (low_resolution, high_res, etc.) that can make RS2 enjoyable even on weaker PCs. Still, I think it is recommended that you be able to run 1.6 on large unit scale and other things set to medium with little or no lag, if you want RS2 to work well.

[pacco]

There are no textures with 512x256 or 256x128.
All RS2 unit textures are 512x512 and some of them (multi units) have 1024x1024.

[Sparda_87]

My comp pretty suck: Intel Pentium Dual Core 2.20GHz, 2gb RAM, Intel GMA 3100 Grahpic. So can I play RS 2 without much lag as much as possible with these options: Large Units, Low Unit Details, the rest can be slow/mid..

[stanley86]

Your PC does not suck entirely. Your graphics card does. Intel GMA is integrated to motherboard. You can use Word, surf the Web but playing games? That can be difficult.
