@lionheartx10 As you outlined in your Shogun 2 video, having shadows on has an absurd cost on your FPS. I actually find the visuals of my game improve with shadows disabled - furthermore, it comes as very amusing to me that the game proposes shadows to be on 'high' on my automatic settings when playing this game with shadows above 'low' is not dissimilar to spawning hundreds of enemies in a modern FPS.
man i hate my laptop it's five years old and when ever i play this game the menu background is pink and the text boxes have not text in them and on top of that it lags like crap! does anyone else have this same problem?
I think you kinda answered your own questiom. If your laptop is 5 years old and unless it wasa top of the range gaming one back then it's really going to struggle to run ETW etc. What's its specs? the no text boxes and pink screen is 1 of 2 possibilities. 1 - your laptop is just too weak / old to run the game or 2 - you need to update your graphics drivers. how it will still probably lag badly.
Guys i need help:my laptop 7 years old and shit can barely run etw, i neeeed a new laptop solely for playing empire total war whats the best laptop for £550 max??? Please helppp
You'd be much better of getting a desktop PC instead of a laptop if you want to game on mate. PM me your reply as It'll mean I can send you some links to laptops / PC's and it'll be easier for me to keep track of!
I have empire total war, but I've got such a bad graphics card and only 2 RAM it's not even worth playing it :( All I want is to buy a new (good) computer so I can play the largest battles on high settings. But computers cost alot.
Are there any computers out there you know (which are cheap) able to run empire: total war on high settings or is it better to build your own?
@lionheartx10 hey i have a lap top HP, and it lags like crazy. i tryied everything i put it on low graphics i even put it on windows the screen. but nothing seems to work any advice?
@lionheartx10 well, i hve toput it on windows mode cause if i dont the mouse wont appear on my screen.specs:5 in 1 digital media reader,intel graphics mdedia accelarator,4500 MB with up to 1309 mb video memory. i actully tryied to install this on my PC, but it dont wanna reconize it, it says there is no disk inserted, but if i inserte a music disk it reconize it. my pc is a dell and has windos. i have the gold edditionof napoleonand empire total war btw. thank you for replying.
If you update your display drivers and mouse drivers you'll probably fix your mouse not appearing in full screen mode. Apart from that however your laptop is very weak for playing these games, it will struggle to run them. Your PC does have a DVD drive and not a CD drive? Have you trying installing Empire / Napoleon via digital download from steam?
@lionheartx10 i dont wanna buy another copy. but i have used steam to activate them. can u give me a link to update my mouse and display drivers plz. is there anything else i can do to help empire total war not lag as much? for every 1 second real time it takes like 2 seconds in the game and its annoying.
lol you dont have to buy another copy! Empire, NTW and Shogun 2 are all STEAM games, meaning that once you've activated the CD Code into steam you can either install from the disc or let it download the game. To do this open steam, go to your games library and double click on the game you want to install. Steam will then start the download! To give you the download links for drivers you'll need to tell me the exact make and model of your mouse and Laptop.
Also apart from updating your drivers and running in full screen mode there isn't much you can do. Your laptop just isn't powerful enough to run these TW games, even on low really, your still going to suffer lag.
@lionheartx10 yea its not the game, its the lap top/ i "restored it to factory condition" its a feture that deletes everything and lets me start over. it helped its way less laggy.but its still laggy though. btw now that i done that i can see my mouse in full screen mode. the down side is that i lost everything. i didnt have to install the game from the disk though. i just downloaded steam and played it threw my user account. is that wat u ment by downloading it by steam?
yes as I said its your laptop, not the game thats causing the lag due to its low spec. Yes thats what I meant, once you activate a steam game on steam, you can either install it via the discs or download it via steams digital download service!
@leemanu94 Build your own is cheaper i built my own and runs great and i play Empire TW on max settings. running a x4 core possessor 8g ram 9500GT geforce and i spent less than 900 for it all minus monitor but if you have a tv that has hdmi then you dont need a monitor
I have this 'old' pc, but the graphics card is really bad.
If I would make my own computer would I be able to keep the usefull bits in my old one and put them in the new one? It has 2gb DDR2 inside would I be able to take it out and put it in the new one?
Just to know, don't need details because if I were to buil one it wouldn't be me but someone I know who can.
Yes you could keep all the useful bits like Hard drive and DVD drive etc. However with your ram, most PC these days, especially for gaming use / need DDr3 Ram, so you could keep your old 2GB ram, however chances are its very slow old ram, you'd be better off getting some new DDR3 ram, as tbh Ram is very cheap these days. I just bought a new 8GB set of 1600Mhz G-Skill Gaming Ram for £40!!!
I see, if I kept the DVD and hard drive (and what else may be useful) get rid of my RAM and get that 8GB you said and the other necessary stuff like a good graphics card etc.
DVD drive and Hard drive are probably the only things you want to keep. How big is the hard drive? Well other things you will need are: PSU - Power supply (I'd recommend at least 600Watts ideally a Corsair Brand one!), Motherboard and processor, depending on whether you want AMD or Intel the cost will vary, same with Graphic's cards which are either AMD or Nvidia, price for performance will also differ greatly in cost, and 4-8GB of ram. So its hard to give you an estimate....
However if you wanted to PM me a budget you would have I could put some parts together for you and give you a far better estimation of the cost, I could put a PC together for around £600 that would play games on high-ultra settings happily! If I knew your budget and any sites you'd prefer to use for parts etc then I could put together a parts list and the cost for you! :) So if you'd like me to do that, send me a PM! :)
@leemanu94 as long as the motherboard is DDR2 then you should be golden, i get all of my parts from tigerdirect com they have a good selection and not to expensive, also buying a bare bone kit would be a good investment they come with everything you need to start you off and they aren't over priced.. hope this helps let me know how it goes
its an unfortunate bug with the game engine, it doesn't properly scale the 2D 'spirtes' of units as they are called to further distances, thus they appear rather closely to the action.
No problem mate, wow haven't seen a build like yours for quite sometime. Hard for me to judge as the Quadros are sometimes very good and other times games are a bit iffy with them. It may not be powerful enough to run ETW, best I can suggest for now is for you to download the demo of ETW and see how that runs / see what settings you can tweak to get the best performance. I would greatly appreciate if you could message me via PM with the results as I'd be interested to know!
What LieutenantFuzz? With the spec he has I highly doubt it'll run on low as the graphic's card is very old and not specifically designed to play games on! Your laptop will have vastly different specs to his computer so just because your laptop may run the game well at medium settings doesn't mean his PC will. You have to carefully look at his specs and understand the power they have.
And thats good for you, thing is the Nvidia Quadro 600 is not designed for gaming, it is built for 3D modeling, rendering and editing projects. It cannot be compared to the standard gaming GPU's of ATi and Nvidia. Which is why I have told him to try the demo as you cannot make an assessment of his graphic's card like you would a normal one! if we went by the spec of his actual card the info suggests it'll run low-medium with some fps at best, but its untested!
at that high resolution you'll probably have a fair bit of lag on ultra and some high settings. A mix of medium to high should be possible with that rig. Tbh the only thing holding you back from running the game at 1920x1080 on ultra settings is your graphics card.
If money is not an issue go for a GTX580, but make sure your PSU = Powersupply is able to handle that card, you'll need a good 600watt PSU to handle a GTX580 :)
I don't know why I cant run Empire total war without even getting the option of going higher than medium on all my settings and It doesn't have anything to do with my processor because it's a 2.8 quad core but it's still slow on all medium as well. Can anyone help?
Hey guys. Just bought this game. Not sure what to run it on settings wise. Acer 7750g. Intel i5 2.9ghz. 4gb ram. Radeon 6650m 1gb graphics. Will it run game? Just so I know before installing it which takes bout ten hours. Please help. Thanks.
Was wondering if you could help me to improve Empire total war on my laptop and help me get the best performance with it being really slow the specs are
watch my "how to check your settings video - dxdiag" that will show you how to find out what graphic's chip you have! But now that you've said you've got a laptop, the reason you can only select up to medium settings is likely because your laptop isn't powerful enough or doesn't have enough VRAM to run the higher settings.
Well it depends if your PC can actually be upgraded with a new graphic's card. Watch my How to check your PC Spec / dxdiag video and PM me your PC's spec.
You can't buy a seperate graphic's card for laptop, they are built in and cannot be upgraded so your stuck with what you buy with a laptop. What's the exact spec of this dell laptop?
both of those perform very well, its very close. Personally I'd go with the one you feel more comfortable with ie: I prefer Nvidia cards so I'd go for a GTX 460 1gb. If you do get a GTX460 get a 1GB version not a 768mb version! But if you like AMD the 6850 is a great card too!
yes that is the latest driver. All I can suggest is that you take a look on the Total War Center forums in the tech section of Empire TW and see if anyone else has report this issue too.
yes it will do on intel graphic's, its not meant for gaming at all you'll need to get yourself a dedicated graphics card if you want to play any new-ish games.
When I made this video I used to run on a 1280x1024 resolution, but that was over 2 years ago, I now have a vastly more powerful PC and run at full 1920x1080 resolution. My current PC's specs are on my channel page :)
Hey i could really use some help with my game: i have nearly all settings (including unit detail and texture detail) but I dont have any musket flares when my units fire! Anyone know how to fix this?
@lionheartx10 I forgot to mention in my first post that all my settings are on ultra, and im running without any lag whatsoever, the only thing i dont have enabled is "Hardware Shadows". Im currently abroad so i cant tell what my graphics are, but i hope this helps.
I actually OC'd today, I'm currently Priming on 3.6. I could use 3.8, but my temps will sit about 10 degrees under max using Prime, which is all well and good because Prime stresses the CPU more than any game ever wood, like... ever, but on those extra hot summer days, it may potentially carrya problem. Dropping to 3.6 drops those by another 4c, but gives me a 400Mhz from stock. Should help with huge battles in Empire, might help stop the drop, but I doubt it since it's obviously a buggy game.
I've had Empire since it came out, I've not been able to get past the 2nd Road to Independance because of abysmal performance, all because I have AMD and ATI, which Empire doesn't like. It's also very buggy. Napoleon runs on MAX fine. Shogun 2 is unplayable. My specs are: ASUS Crosshair III Formula AMD Phenom II X4 955BE @ 3.2Ghz Xigmatek Dark Knight S-1283v MX-4 1GB 4870 GDDR5 4GB Corsair Dominator 1600 @ 1333Mhz 1010watt FSP Everest Modular PSU Win 7 64-bit Home Premium.
hmm yeah Empire is poorly optimised but you should be able to run high/ultra with that rig. also shogun should run fine as it has ATi / AMD support this time around. What drivers are you using for the 4870?
@lionheartx10 Performance fluctuates. Some missions superb, some run on medium, some on ultra, some have no FPS difference. For example one mission may run on ultra but the next mission may run at 15fps. Changing the settings to low will still have 15fps. Such a poor game.
If I do manage to get further into the game, aka 3rd R.2.Independance, I get crashes, super long turn times, or the worst one: Slo-mo gameplay when in real-time setting.
hmm well just incase you haven't tried them I found the 10.5 drivers the best for solid performance but yeah Empire is poorly optimised compared to NTW and hopefully after the Patch due this Monday - Shogun 2.
My computer is a tank that can Run Crysis,its a laptop,on almost max,but IT WANT LET ME EVEN ACCESS HIGH OR VERY HIGH SETTINGS ON THIS GAME!,JUST LOW AND MED,
Well since then I've upgraded to an Nvidia GTS250, then to an ATi 5770 and now to an Nvidia GTX 570. If you want a good mid level card a 5770 is a good buy or even better an Nvidia GTX460 1gb!
If you want to play above medium settings then yes a new card would be required. something like a GTS450 or 5770 is a cheap option or if you have a bit more money the GTX460 1GB is a great card!
well seeing as your ATi, you need to run the Catalyst control centre (CCC) and click the about option which will tell you which driver version you have, if you can't find it have a google on how to check your drivers it'll come up with some results showing how to get to the CCC and find your driver version
@lionheartx10 Is it this one? Driver Packaging Version 8.831.2-110308a-115316C-ATI Catalyst Version 11.3 Provider ATI Technologies Inc. 2D Driver Version 8.01.01.1134 2D Driver File Path /REGISTRY/MACHINE/SYSTEM/ControlSet001/Control/CLASS/{4D36E968-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}/0000 Direct3D Version 7.14.10.0817 OpenGL Version 6.14.10.10600 Catalyst Control Center Version 2011.0308.2325.42017
download and install the older 10.5 drivers they are the most stable and should stop BSOD, if the BSOD continue, then when did they first start, had you just added some new hardware to your PC or has it been since you install these 11.3 drivers?
Please guys tell me and be honest if my computer stuff sucks.I'm completely computer illiterate.Well heres my stuff Windows 7 home edition AMD Athlon(tmd) II x4 630 processor 2.80 GHz Installed memory (RAM) : (4.00 GB 3.74 GB usable) System type 64 bit Graphic Card : RS880 Total memory available 1915MB Dedicated Memory 256MB System video 0MB Shared system memory 1659MB If this is good or decent, why does my quality suck so badly ? I would really appreciate the help.
graphics card however to that your game doesn't lag on ultra settings you'll want to get 4gb of ram too. Thing is your PSU - power supply probs won't be able to take a stronger graphics card so that'll need upgrading too. So if you dont want to do all that atm just get 4gb of ram, preferably with a copy of Windows 64bit so that your PC can used the 4gb instead of 3gb.
Hey lionheartx10 still alive:)?Hey i was wondering if the GTX460 could be installed on my board the GAP43-ES3G it has like a PCI-EX16 and a PCI-EX1 slot my friend told me that it is possible but not recommended cause it wont draw the max potential of the gtx460???
@lionheartx10 aye man thanks again i suppose it will be possible to play ETW on ultra with this card.Im kinda tired playing it on unit detail low with gt220 hey about that PSUs you mentioned earlier i couldnt find the video about PSUs so if I could ask you about a particular one its the Gigabyte GIGABYTE 550W, SUPERB Power 24EPG-P45PC2 will it suffice to run the gtx460 with my 4gbddr2 ram cpu 2.5ghz i2 quad and 500gb memory thx in advance mate.
will it run good on intel core i7 2ghz

at that high resolution you'll probably have a fair bit of lag on ultra and some high settings. A mix of medium to high should be possible with that rig. Tbh the only thing holding you back from running the game at 1920x1080 on ultra settings is your graphics card.

If money is not an issue go for a GTX580, but make sure your PSU = Powersupply is able to handle that card, you'll need a good 600watt PSU to handle a GTX580 :)

Well the GTX 580 is considerably more powerful than the GTX 560 Ti, so as long as you have a decent PSU I'd get the GTX 580!

I don't know why I cant run Empire total war without even getting the option of going higher than medium on all my settings and It doesn't have anything to do with my processor because it's a 2.8 quad core but it's still slow on all medium as well. Can anyone help?

@Bendall22250
watch my "how to check your settings video - dxdiag" that will show you how to find out what graphic's chip you have! But now that you've said you've got a laptop, the reason you can only select up to medium settings is likely because your laptop isn't powerful enough or doesn't have enough VRAM to run the higher settings.

lionheartx10 6 months ago
@RASANKING
as I mentioned in my previous post. I'd personally go for the GTX460 1gb as I prefer Nvidia.
lionheartx10 6 months ago
@RASANKING
both of those perform very well, its very close. Personally I'd go with the one you feel more comfortable with ie: I prefer Nvidia cards so I'd go for a GTX 460 1gb. If you do get a GTX460 get a 1GB version not a 768mb version! But if you like AMD the 6850 is a great card too!
lionheartx10 6 months ago
@lionheartx10
as I said they perform very close, some tests show the GTX460 is better while others show the 6850 is better. its up to you.

ok well let me know what your graphics card is and what drivers your using when you get back.
lionheartx10 9 months ago
I actually OC'd today, I'm currently Priming on 3.6. I could use 3.8, but my temps will sit about 10 degrees under max using Prime, which is all well and good because Prime stresses the CPU more than any game ever wood, like... ever, but on those extra hot summer days, it may potentially carrya problem. Dropping to 3.6 drops those by another 4c, but gives me a 400Mhz from stock. Should help with huge battles in Empire, might help stop the drop, but I doubt it since it's obviously a buggy game.

hmm yeah Empire is poorly optimised but you should be able to run high/ultra with that rig. also shogun should run fine as it has ATi / AMD support this time around. What drivers are you using for the 4870?
lionheartx10 9 months ago
@lionheartx10 Performance fluctuates. Some missions superb, some run on medium, some on ultra, some have no FPS difference. For example one mission may run on ultra but the next mission may run at 15fps. Changing the settings to low will still have 15fps. Such a poor game.
If I do manage to get further into the game, aka 3rd R.2.Independance, I get crashes, super long turn times, or the worst one: Slo-mo gameplay when in real-time setting.
Used all CCC drivers since game out. No diff.

hmm well just incase you haven't tried them I found the 10.5 drivers the best for solid performance but yeah Empire is poorly optimised compared to NTW and hopefully after the Patch due this Monday - Shogun 2.

If you want to play above medium settings then yes a new card would be required. something like a GTS450 or 5770 is a cheap option or if you have a bit more money the GTX460 1GB is a great card!

well seeing as your ATi, you need to run the Catalyst control centre (CCC) and click the about option which will tell you which driver version you have, if you can't find it have a google on how to check your drivers it'll come up with some results showing how to get to the CCC and find your driver version

@nailb0y
graphics card however to that your game doesn't lag on ultra settings you'll want to get 4gb of ram too. Thing is your PSU - power supply probs won't be able to take a stronger graphics card so that'll need upgrading too. So if you dont want to do all that atm just get 4gb of ram, preferably with a copy of Windows 64bit so that your PC can used the 4gb instead of 3gb.
