I hear its out there! Anyone have a link to a direct feed?, unable to torrent at the mo

Neil79 · 8 Oct 2006 at 22:04

Im afraid thats the only place to get it that this moment

Being uploaded to newsgroups too soon

Skeme · 8 Oct 2006 at 22:36

I had no idea it about this.

Sure enough its being uploaded to alt.binaries.games atm. Cool :cool:

sunlitsix · 8 Oct 2006 at 22:43

ive still found no direct links yet, but it is definately out there on the torrents

Oberon · 8 Oct 2006 at 23:23

Was hoping to find some information here,

The official forums have been plauged with torrent links, but those pesky admins have been at it again!.

The info i did find out there though is that one of the demo's is said to be quite dated. On the other hand a lot of PC Gamer subscribers have got their hands on a demo from november's edited (2 weeks early).

Either way i want to get my grubby hands on it.

Not had a decent game in months i tell you, months!.

downloading as we speak, praise the OP, totally forgot the demo was out soon, thou i thought the demo wasnt meant for release for like another two weeks or so? owel, im not complaining

btw, anyone know what the fuss is over unsupported cpu's? seems in the demos .txt it states that a vast majority of cpus wont run it/aren't compatible, anyone have any info?

Readme says that "The processor must support SSE2" and from wiki these CPUs dont work with it
* AMD Athlon
* AMD Athlon XP / MP
* AMD Duron
* AMD Sempron (Socket A versions)
* Intel Pentium II Xeon
* Intel Pentium III Xeon
* Intel Pentium II
* Intel Pentium III

Well i'm very impressed with the graphics... 1920*1200 widescreen everything on max....

nice

played the demo through a few times, great graphics, wish there was more to the demo, but heh, its a demo, just need to start modding it now, need to get more gunpowder units for the HRE, something so pleasing watching the french charge into a hail storm of shot *evil smile*

eekfek · 9 Oct 2006 at 11:34

plays fine thankfully, but is a real system hog
glad i just got hold of an AGP 7900GS 512 ;p as my 9800 was about to die

it runs just about ok on full detail but does get jerky in large battles
trim the gfx down a little and its a beauty .
so to celebrate that my rig can run it ive just ordered this :-

philstanbridge · 9 Oct 2006 at 12:51

It runs very well on my sytem and looks great - but I cant wait for the modding team to get a "realistic" version out

KingOfAquitaine · 9 Oct 2006 at 17:35

Arg, I demand you all stop playing it until I have bitTorrent back

Lovejoy! · 9 Oct 2006 at 17:43

yeah, it's still a LITTLE stuttery on my machine but still extremely playable.

brilliant game.

Roughneck · 9 Oct 2006 at 21:56

Im puzzled , its not ok to talk about software pirated on Bit Torrent normally but its ok to talk about unauthourised Demos realised on Bit Torrent , isnt it still illegal?
