I've gotten halfway thru the independance campaign and am now getting kicked off every 5th turn. Is there some reason microsoft can't tell you in plain english what the problem is; only a game developer would understand the error language. I have version 1.2 is there a newer update and how do I get it. Thanks.

Well you won't be able to get a new update due to E:TW being tied to Steam. As for your issue, toss a thread in at the Total War site and see what they can do to help you. Don't forgot to post your dxdiag and any other information that could help someone solve your issue.

How so? It is a very enjoyable game that many people are playing. If that represents an epic fail, then I'd wish a lot more games to become epic fails....

Because this is what people are doing at this, and every other gaming forum, these days. Plain and simple, they're bashing games that they've never played before - this is the in-vogue thing to be doing. The better the game, the more attention they'll get for bashing it. These people give themselves away though by writing single sentences in which they never actually write about the game itself. If you try to call them out, by discussing the game itself in any sort of detail, then they'll attack you personally, since they know nothing about the actual game and therefore can't debate you. Or they'll go to Gamerankings and look for the lowest score and then read the one review out of hundreds that found fault with the game - then they'll simply start quoting from that article. People, these days, are so quick to complain about things, without backing up their complaints. Debates are great - that's what forums are about. But I don't see how it's much of a gift to the forum when a person writes a one sentence post, or merely quotes from an article that I've already read. Some people are so insecure that they just feel the need to say something bad about a game, because they've heard other people say it, and it makes them feel like they're part of a crowd - maybe the tough-guy crowd? You know, and I know, that the Total War series is continually being refined, and that of course Empire is one of the best strategy games in the entire series, which is why this title has an average score of 90 based on 64 professional reviews. Yeah, what an epic fail that is. The guys at Creative Assembly must be so depressed that their game has only received an average score of 90, making it one of the top ranked games ever. I agree: If Empire is an 'epic fail' (these two words themselves are a bit of a giveaway as to the person's level of intelligence) then I'd like to play more games that are epic failures... sorry, 'epic fails'.

A vocal few are having technical issues with the game (or more likely in many cases, their computer). The rest of us are having too much fun with it to complain.

the only problem I have is with low framerates even at lowest settings, and my rig is way well enought to run it near med-high at 1600x1050.

Well, I'm able to run GTA 4, at max settings (1680*1050) at between 40 and 50 frames per second, and I've never had a crash to desktop or experienced any sort of a memory leak whatsoever - so I'm baffled as to why people think that it's a poor port.

Sometimes people just get lucky I suppose.

I've got about 20 cutting edge titles now installed on my 4 month old computer - and only one game is crashing on me: Fallout 3. And I mean it's the only one that's doing it. Some guy at the Bethesda forum said he'd never experienced a crash to desktop while playing Fallout 3. For me, that's difficult to believe. The thing is, I didn't call him a liar. And honestly there was no need for you to call this guy here a liar either.

Well, if you consider it a problem. I have issues with troop management on the battlefield using the right mouse button to get more than 4 troops to the right position, I can't get it right...
