Why they cannot say us where is the problem or if they are working on it?

by the way: even after x patches game suffers same bugs. paratrupers in the edge of map disapearing after landing, bazzoka infantry stupid AI, sandboxes sometimes disapearing after small explosion, vehicles stucks pretty often and helps only manual control and my favourite: totally stupid supply distribution. who has time and nervs for that!

sooo great pc game and sooo many stupid bugs... i will pray for next patches. amen

You get 40+fps on Ultra with STW2, that's sounds pretty good. You have too remember that even with the great graphics you get in STW2, those units have a "unit" thinking. If all those troops had individual AI and/or individual inventory your fps would probably be lower. That screen shot shows just how much work the PC has. It would be so much easier on the PC if all those burning hulks, the craters, the weapons/equipment, and the collateral damage would disappear, but the game wouldn't be as cool. The PC keeps track of all that and still has to contend with the gameplay. This game has issues for sure, but IMO deliveries so much FUN.
If you have 15 to 30 minutes to spend tweaking saved game files you can give your Tanks and AT guns all the ammo they need and your troops with a lot more ammo to start. You and Frank Killaa have totally legit problems but this game is so tweakable there's no reason why you can't have a BLAST playing.

I have the same problem as the poster, but if I'm gonna delete the game, it's gonna be AFTER I get a REFUND. This is beginning to look like a rip off and I won't accept this !

Forget about the refund. European law doesn't foresee in this yet, and if the laws that are being dicussed are ever passed I think we'll be without games for quite a while since none of the games released nowadays meets any consumer rights that go for any product anywhere within the EU. And trust me if they will have to refund the costs on a none functioning product, to do so will bankrupt even the likes of EA.

MoW works fine and so does Assault Squad, quit whining.
Yes it has performance issues but its a good game.

Typical americans, whining and moaning about everything with their miffed up law systems that enables them to sue anyone for anything at anytime which is quite pathetic.
You're not getting a refund and deal with it, and its not a ripoff. Next time check what game you're buying and if you don't like it dont bother.

For those with really high end gpu's if you are using anti aliasing I suggest turning off in game anti aliasing impementation and force anti aliasing through your video card drivers. I am using super sampling aa forced through my drivers on my 6990 and difference in performance is quite huge vs the in game super sampling implementation.

[djsatane]

2 major tips when it comes to performance on mid to high end computers.

1. If you have multi core cpu such as i7 etc.... Set affinity for the process "mow_assault_squad.exe" to use only 1 core, for example if you have 4 cores set to use only core 0. This prevents from thread jumping between cores and results in steady performance. This game doesnt use multi core anyways. This will give big boost in terms of steady performance vs shuttering and game freezing a bit every now and then.

2. If you use anti aliasing implemention inside game, and you have higher end graphics card, I recommend turning off anti aliasing in game and trying out using your graphics card driver anti aliasing override, force such anti aliasing as multi sample or super sampling etc....

In terms of single player the solution is in-game ANTI-ALIASING !

Try what I did.

1. in-game : turn every detail to low/off
2. go to NVidia control panel > Manage 3D settings > Program settings > set to MoW:AS
3. SET > AA filter ; AA mode to Override... ; AA settings ; AA Transparency ; you fiddle with the rest
4. Go to game start see how the game performs in heavy battle. Then make yourself a SAVE. If you have enough FPS try turning things ON step-by-step.

Water effects + Shadows = FPS KILL .... the rest is OK.


When I set everything maxed out. The game goes around 20-50FPS depending on view. When zooming from above it reaches 100FPS. But when I look into GPU Tweak the GPU usage is never above 60%. So guess what ..... And the game still goes at 20-30 FPS !

to Multiplayer !!!

With all mentioned above. LAN-coop-skirmish-1.USA(overlord) 2 players = UNPLAYABLE = 10 to 20 FPS.

Now PC specs

Mine as joiner :
Q6600 @ 3,00Ghz
4GB Corsair Dominator XMS2 1066mhz 2.1V 5-5-5-15
Asus GTX 570 DCII
WD Caviar Black 1TB FAEX
Win 7 x64 Ulti SP1

Host PC specs :
i7-860 @ 3.4Ghz
4GB Kingston 1600Mhz CL9
!!!! ASUS GTX 590 3GB !!!!
Win 7 x64 Ulti SP1

NVidia VGA driver version : 295.51

Great game ! Huge dissapointment in game-engine-performance. We're going back to R.U.S.E. Sry guys...




EDIT : We both have patch ver. 2.00... (cca 1GB)

EDIT : Any suggestion to try out ?

The game was checked before buying, my specs far outdo the minimum specs for the game, I have installed all the patches and the frame rate is still shite, oh and I'm English you racist prick.

In the middle of a battle the framerate drops to a single frame-per-second. Changing all quality settings to their lowest levels makes no difference. I have an AMD Phenom II X6 1055T Processor at 2.8 Ghz a core and an nVidia GTS 450, Windows 7 64-bit, and 8 gb of ram. The game is unplayable right now.
