Getting Empire

[Luminzz]

Hello all!

Just Wondering about this game! Im getting a new computer in about 2 weeks. Here is the specs

ntel® Core™ i7 920 2.66GHz (8MB Cache) Quad Core Processor
Windows® 7 Home Premium, 64bit,
Dual 1GB GDDR5 ATI Radeon™ HD 5670 CrossfireX™ Enabled
3GB Triple Channel 1333MHz DDR3

One thing is can i run this game that is Empire total war? and is it worth getting? I hear it has alot of problems with crashing and what not.

Thanks...

[Mediteran]

you can run it.. is it worth getting? i think it is, but your opinion may differ

[Luminzz]

I think i will like it, I love total war games. But how is it with crashing? is the crashing fixed with the patches? I been looking this game up and alot of people complain about crashing to desktop but the posts were from when the game just came out so I imagine its alot better?

yeah i heard all the crashings are fixed

i played for a few months and didnt have any crashes until i downloaded darthmod and i was told it was because there were too many units on my screen :/ (although my computer dosent have those stats). But IMO empire isnt too bad now, even vanilla, but mods are what pretty much makes the game truely fantastic, since you cant pick out the one you want and such.

Without mods, the game is very stable if your system is good. In the 6 months that i'm playing it, i had about 4 crashes or so

with these specs could i be able to run the Napoleon total war aswell and run it good?

I imagine as told i can run Empire total war with no problems

[grandpa]

yes, you can run both, if you have the memory to load both, and there are some good mods out there for both. All very stable at this point in my opinion.

no you will KILL the game with those specs, youll be able to World war tw with that comp

and napolean is slighly easier than etw

[Luminzz]

LOL what do you mean kill the game? As in i will run it really good or really bad?

Actually my system is below the minimum requirements for this game and it only crashed once, a bit laggy though, but I'm not complaining cause as stated earlier it's below the minimum requirements.

Intel Cor 2 Duo 2.2 GHz
2 GB DDR
No dedicated GPU, just the standard intel chip provided with main-stream laptops.

Got a 2.3 GHz, 2Gb RAM and Vista 32-bit, had the game since New Year and no crashes yet. No mods installed yet though, so I'm not sure how it would hold up with those in. Running version 1.6 by the way.
