It was only a subset of ATI cards where the game wouldn't start, and in many cases it was a matter of Microsoft's DirectX 9.0c install routine not properly updating the drivers.

Irrelevant. There is no reason why the game shouldn't have been able to run _at all_ with 1 version out of date drivers.

I never experienced any crashes that I would consider regular. Even so, one crash every two hours is extremely low for any kind of game.

*cringes* More like, extremely high. There is no excuse for a $50 game from a huge company to crash in anything but the most obscure of situations. The game would crash _every turn_ after playing for a while in many cases... It was absurd.

Do you have the recommended 512 MB of RAM? You'd probably want at least 1 GB to prevent slowdowns.

High amounts of RAM didn't help anyone I know. Game was still unstable and crashed a lot with a gig or more. It has been fixed now, but the beta release 1.0 was really bad...
