The radeon 9200 is one of the video cards with known problems (there are many). Go to LucasArts.com and check the FAQ's for EaW in Yoda's help desk. That's the official support site for the game. You won't find anything from Activision. Lucas is in c...  [Read More]

Sorry, I'm at work, so I don't have the game in front of me. The wording may not be hardware mouse cursor. I'll look when I get home, in three hours. I looked for this problem in Yoda's help desk and there were several mice that have issues. Also, it...  [Read More]

I gave you the problem. It's the patch. I had the problem before the game was even installed, so it couldn't have been the patch for me. Maybe we're talking about two different issues. I have the patch installed, and it works on the first try every...  [Read More]

RMS is how much power a speaker can handle in watts. More is better. I also have an Audigy card. With the two speakers you already have (or headphones), you can take advantage of EAX, but not Dolby. I'm using the EAX4 setting in EaW right now. There...  [Read More]

I agree with you totally, and I will also buy the game regardless. However, I suspect the release version will be a little different from the demo. If not, I would expect a patch soon after release. At the very least I expect frame rates to be smooth...  [Read More]

When you think about the amount of time and money invested in creating a modern game, it doesn't make sense that they would make careless decisions about the content of the demo. I'd bet that every aspect of the demo was carefully planned. When you'r...  [Read More]

I've played the demo and mods, so here's my take: Zoom controls are clunky, especially in ground mode. When I zoom into a planet on the strategic map, if I have two fleets and I want to move 5 out of 10 units from one fleet to another, I have to dr...  [Read More]
