      The only thing that hasn't worked for me is that disc 2 is labeled the play disc, but you need disc 1 to actually play...

      Other than that, I ran through the tutorial without any problems. The game is running in the background right now, so alt-tabbing works fine. There was one spot in the tutorial where I was trying to click on something and it wouldn't let me, but I think that was just because the tutorial text was up.

        i need a better video card now

        even on low settings, it feels laggy (geforce fx5200 128mb/p4 2.6/2gig ram)

          People for whom the installation went without problem are currently playing the game, not voting in this poll!

            It might help to break the "not working" into those who are bugged, and those whose computers simply aren't up to spec, which is likely a decent chunk of the non-functioners.

              but I ignored that for my response

                I think it might be helpful if those people who have got the game running let those with troubles know a/ their system specs and b/ especially if those had to work at it explain exactly how they managed to achieve success.

                As a sideline, when I built my system I'm blinkin' glad I went with NVIDIA.

                  Sorry, clunky grammar there, but I think you can all see what I'm trying to say.

                      Works fine for me, 1280x1024 with max settings. No label issue either.

                        Just the CD label issue and my tech tree being in French, no gameplay issues.

                          well, after a while with a lower end video card it seems to slow down

                            Same here. Worked like a charm.

                              Everything's fine, no bugs at all.

                              German DVD-Version, ATI 9500 (65MB), 512 MB Ram, 1400x1050

                              All Graphic Settings "High", game runs smooth so far, but sometimes
                              responds a little slow. Maybe I have to lower the details when more
                              units/cities are on the map.

                              Great game!!
