I had very few issues when I first began playing the game. Not a lot of crashes, but the occasional bugged fleet that would crash in campaign mode. Land and sea battles worked well.

It seems as though each patch released is screwing up the game rather than making it better.

After the first patch, naval battles started crashing. Now, with this latest patch, land battles are completely unplayable. The sound is screwed up. There is so much lag, I can't even select units most of the time. It's like my mouse is frozen. (Can't even use the mouse to scroll around the battlefield.) There is no way to control my troops. I can't even deploy them.

I'm running Vista 32 bit, Intel Duo Core 3ghz; 4 gigs of RAM; dual Nvidia 9800gtx video cards (latest drivers.)

The game is getting worse and worse. I wish there was a way to roll back the game to the original version. It had issues, but at least I could fight battles. I've never experienced a more bug-ridden game than this, ever. It's hard to believe that this is the work of professionals.
