GOODBYE 1.3 . . . hello again 1.2

[Poita]

That's it. I'm going back to 1.2

I hate the way the problem is being described in some quarters as 'some users are having slowdown'. I and everyone i have played with have complained about massive lag. It seems more like slow graphics than game lag actually. Whatever it is it's making the games unplayable.

There are also compatibility issues too. Some with BI can't be joined in regular rtw games by others with just the 1.3 patch.

I'm done with 1.3 till 1.4 (maybe) comes out.
What's the point of a patch if it makes the game worse not better? I recon they just rushed BI and the 1.3 patch to make some quick cash. Sega it's your property now, get it sorted.

[eltrevo]

yeah I agree with you. 1.3 is FAR worse then 1.2.

Heh... I thought I was the only one experiencing difficulties with 1.3 ...weird... since 1.2 was all-round excellent.

I don´t think that 1.4 will come out, sorry. BI is 1.4. Most certainly they will only patch BI from now on.

I suffered from the 'slowdown problem' when I first installed RTW: BI. The battles were almost unplayable. I was able to solve the problem on my PC by changing my display - screen refresh rate - settings. I raised my screen refresh rate setting from the default of 60 Hertz to 75 Hertz. My copy of BI now runs nearly as smoothly as my old copy of RTW 1.2.

I do not know whether changing the screen refresh rate (i.e. direct3D refresh rate) will work with RTW 1.3, but it may be worth trying.
