SE V demo Interface

Black Knyght, the point there is that SE5's graphics are far from state of the art, and any computer built in the last 5 years should be able to run them with ease. They can't, because the game's a bit buggy at the moment, but they should be able to.

I have an AMD 2500/512Meg Ram/Ati Radeon 9600pro...I need binoculars to see high-end..in 1280x768 with graphics set to medium I get 50-60fps in the system screen.

On that note, would it be a good idea to start a new thread for people to list their system specs and the framerate they get?

If you read point #1, I conceded to that as a possibility.

An interesting observation here:

I'm starting to notice there's an interesting lean now against anybody not rampantly in favor of the new SEV game. Not trying to single anyone out, or make an issue of this. I just thought I'd point it out.

If "X" doesn't like a thing, then "X" doesn't like it. Telling "X" they're all wrong in their opinion about it doesn't improve what "X" doesn't like about it, it just invalidates "X's" opinion because it's not the same as the popular majority point of view.

I haven't really seen that here to be honest. It was that sort of attitude that drove me away from the Civ4 apolyton forum.

Entirely correct. If I've been giving that impression I apologize. What I've been doing is trying to point out ways to make the game more handlable, and/or correct misconceptions (options are fine, mis-informed opinions annoy me).

Wow, I don't see that at all. If anything, I thought the opposite. But, in any case, to repeat my earlier posts and test your hypotheses, I'll repeat my earlier statements:

The SEV UI STINKS. I will NOT buy SEV unless and until the UI is made useable. There are a LOT of other problems with the game as well, that certainly must be fixed if SEV is to be a long term success in the gaming community.

Nonetheless, I am just as convinced that SEV could be a very great game the minute the UI and the other fixes are implemented.

Thanks,
AMF

Well it went Gold today. Which means that UI changes are probabaly out. Maybe a patch, huh? Anyway, I plan to wait a few of weeks and pick it up for $20.00.

BK, out of curiousity, do you have the video set to Auto, or Safe? I've found that setting it to Safe solved the major problems I had. Too bad there's no setting to make the UI better lol..

Not that I don't believe you, but I can't find a 'gold' announcement anywhere. What was your source?
