Since the game was release i was not able to play properly, even with graphics in low-medium during fights i would get 10-20 fps max, i can still go high/ultra but only without fighting and with 30 fps max . Now with the patches being release ( just tried out the patch 2), i don't really see the performance of the game getting better. So i wonder if the problem is my build , even if i pass the recommended settings of the game ( which i don't even care now since they pretty much are false) i fear i won't be able to run this game until i upgrade my pc in the next 2-3 years and i built the machine just for Rome, not to max it but to run it on high-really high with decent fps.
It makes me sad reading some comments in this forum, we have people pretty much saying : " ohh, you can't run the game , thats your fault, your computer is weak" or " i run it fine, it plays fine to me, so i don't care what happens to you, you should not criticized the game... because it runs fine to me." . Well, not everyone has the money to build a NASA computer or is lucky enough to have the game running smooth, i worked a lot during this year to get the money to run the game and now it kills me not being able to playing right on the release and the weeks after.
So be honest, do you really think performance issues will be fix or will this just like Empire total war broken performance 4ever where most of people will only be able to play the game years after release, plus mods?



MY build is :
I5-3750k 3.40g
HD7970 3G
8GB
