Willem said:First and foremost, video cards that don't have T&L support. But also older video cards that make the game run slow, insufficient CPU power, inadequate RAM, hard drives that haven't been looked after or defragmented in 3 years or are simply to full to handle Virtual Memory properly. There's a number of reasons why this game shows poor performance on some machines, but many people seem to think it's strictly Firaxis' fault. And they're going to be very disappointed when they discover that the patch doesn't do much to resolve their problems.
I bet you're going to be one pissed off customer if they've gone ahead and fixed the T&L stuff in this patch. You probably won't ever let that go. People will be posting in happiness here and you'll hunt down every merry thread and say "Well, they shouldn't have had to patch anything! It's your fault!". That would actually be entertaining I suppose. You're probably going to be furious if they've fixed their memory leaks and the game actually runs respectably well on anybody's machine with 256 Mb of RAM.
Anyway, my personal hopes for the patch:
1. Memory leaks
2. Graphics Card fixes
3. The Diplomacy bug
4. And most the minor grahpics bugs seemingly related to specific configurations.
This would be a nice list of things to get straightened out for a first patch.
