Hey Guys,
I am playing rome, and seiging Velathri, and everytime I go in battle, the game freezes Mid battle.
Anyone else having the same experince?

What sort of PC you got? I get the odd freeze, but not every time.

At this point I could suggest the AMD beta driver that's hot off the press.

Got it, sorry it was my mistake, I mixed 2 uncompatible mods, false alarm.
By the way, I already installed the AMD patch you have attached up there, and still I am getting shivers around the water shores on the battlefield.
Note: when I disable the AMD CrossfireX, the shivering stops, and when I enable it, the shivering comes back!
Any suggestions?
I have 2 GPUs in my machine.

When I play battle, my game freeze for 20-25s, after that 3s of battle I can play normally,then another freeze. Any ideas? I got patch number 2 applied.

@GM207
CF is still buggy (everybody has the same issues like flickering shoreline). Just disable CF for Rome 2. You can create a profile for Rome2.exe in AMDs CCC and disable CF there.

A single 7970 is easily enough to render Rome 2 with extreme settings since the graphics engine is mostly CPU limited (shadows and unit detail have to be lowered for better performance in battles due to the CPU limiation). I have 2x7970 myself but I only use 1 even with 2560x1440 resolution.

CA needs to add MSAA first in order to utilize all the idle GPU power.

I got a monster CPU, the latest Intel Core i7-3930K Processor.
Don't you think this is enough to get a good performance?
If not, that I made a mistake getting the game!
Man this just keeps getting better and better!
