Slow performance

Very sluggish for me as well in 1280x1024.
2 GHz P4, 1G RAM, ATI Radeon 9800 Pro.

I have tried with lower resolution and in 1024x768 it is much better, BUT I have to switch my desktop resolution for this - not very friendly.

The game seems to be using the Windows GDI graphics interface - is this the case? GDI is VERY slow...

Well, I had another go today at the demo in 1024x768 AND turbo mode. The game still produces less than 15 frames per second.

Scrolling with the mouse does not work and scrolling in general is sluggish. Tooltips are switched ON, but if I hover my mouse over a button it says nothing.

Controlling the game is a struggle... I really wanted to like this (and buy), but....

And where is the multiplayer anyway???

Just built a new machine, Pent.4 3ghz processor, 2 gigs of ram, geforce 6200 video card and the game still runs poorly. I agree with BlackVoid, I was really looking foward to this game, but I am throughly disappointed.

Hmmm...I'm running the game itself, on a P2.4 with 1 gig RAM and a Radeon 9600 (1280x1024). XP pro SP2 and DirectX 9c. The only time I experience sluggish behavior is when I change the "Size" setting, then it's a bit of delay before the screen is redrawn. The tooltips do take a second to pop up, tho.

I didn't have any of these problems and I just habe 1.5 Ghz.
