No it's not the card, or the computing power of the card, per se. As you see above, SAS asked if you had the same problem as him. And he's got a mighty rig:
I'd recommend more discussion on this is done in the bug thread on the problem.

SAS I did check on your bug report thread and it is exactly as you are showing. I did reply on thread but forgot to post confirmation on here as it was getting late. Hope you saw my reply in any case.
Michael H - I'd be willing to spend between £50 - £100. Would I get anything decent for that? While there appears to be some doubt as to the cause of the problem I may hold off before committing. Your advice would be gratefully appreciated though, as it pays to keep one's options open.
Syphus - Many thanks on the lesson concerning Graphics cards. It was a great help, though my ignorance of all things hardware still knows no bounds

After playing a couple hours I would just say that
a) the optimised code for graphics and AI are very welcome.
b) a compatibility patch for DiG is an emergency since the game is so bland without it.

DI:G will reportedly be ready for FtM around July 15th if all present DI:G 2.0 alpha testing is succesfull (mine wasn't
)
I believe the AI has improved a lot and suggest you consider FtM.
Praetori is right, the Exp. Force spamming was terrible and I like the new supply sys.
I'm sorry I am not sure what you mean with 36-45 GC...
I mean a grand campaign (= GC). I like the build up part of the game.
Thx for coming back to the question.
I think the AI is acting weird as hell in FtM.
Was playing as Japan in the 36 GC and I seen Ethiopia getting annexed by Italy and then released as a puppet, then it was annexed by the allies and released as a french puppet, which was fine until germany after conquered france and made them a puppet which meant Vichy France didnt form.
Most annoying thing is with france in the Axis, I cannot complete my conquest of indochina.

There seems to be a lot of strange decisions going on in FTM, just played my first new game through with the latest patch and took Poland as Germany in september 1939, all going good until I got the pop up asking if I wanted to honour the Germany-Soviet pact which I did in my first game with FTM and nothing strange happened, this time I honoured the agreement and the Soviets got their side of Poland fine, my side is now divided up between the northern part of ex Poland being annexed and the southern half a new puppeted Poland , I wasn't best pleased.
I haven't bought the expansion yet, but I would be interested to know if it is any harder to invade Great Britain in 1940. In Semper Fi or Dies Irae its pretty easy once you have controlled France - in fact last time I played as Germany I invaded Britain as soon as Belgium had fallen with some spare divisions and just using my 3 transport ships - took a while, but there was never any real resistance from the Royal Navy bar a couple of battles with some cruisers. This seems to be a major bug in the game and means that playing as Germany is just too easy - there's no second front to worry about when invading Russia.
Has this been addressed?

Yes, the British AI is much better and much more stubborn and it launches invasions if germany does not push hard enough.
I can only go on the original version of FTM as the patch has done so many weird things I wouldn't be surprised if the AI Germany makes peace with the Allies in 1940
Playing as the Soviets the Ai UK took back France from Germany and was pushing it out when Italy came to help out Germany and retook Belgium from the UK and part of Southern France this was in 1941 so I took advantage of it and invaded Germany so in that game it was a lot different to most of my other campaigns pre FTM.
Post patch your guess is as good as mine as to what will happen as even the player has no control over what turns puppet or annex even with the war goals feature.

That's good to know - sounds like might be worth buying it then (once I have finished off my current Dies Irae campaign!)
I said nothing about power. I said Intel Graphics cards are a waste of time regardless of how powerful they are. Since I only see two people complaining about it in this case I am going to guess they are two unique issues.
As far as what you want to spend, if you play other games it's probably a good idea to get a real graphics card anyway. You should have no problem getting a decent card for 100 pounds as $100 - $200 USD will get you good cards.
Of course there's THE Grand Campaign!
It's always there, FtM added scenarios, but the Grand Campaign is still there with all the new features, like them or not.
As you see from other posts, AI finally graduated at military school...It only seems has learned too much from the Godfather as it tends to puppet everything.
There's four people just in that thread with the problem?
And at least one other here?And I'm the only one with the Intel card, SAS has 2 NVIDA GeForce GTX 285 SLI.
Yesterday I tried the 1940 scenario Germany. I had everything on AI control except the Panzergroup Kleist.
With the panzers I could slice through the Ardennes like a hot knife through butter and dispite the unrealistic attack delay
I could achieve almost historical results reaching Dunkirk at the second of June. I got the strong impression
that due to the new model for fights with working defensiveness and toughness unequal battles are over much faster
and I like it. But I was kind of shocked how easy it was to reach a decisive victory. And also based on the
feedback from others I assume the results for Barbarossa would be similarly devastating.

I agree. I do register my games, although I didn't used to, because at this stage it's more trouble than not doing so, but the automatic assumption that people who don't register are infringing Paradox's copyright is quite offensive.
To be honest I own a legal and regular copy of Supreme Ruler, but I never made it to register it because I can't get the code to be accepted. Even support replied one to my mails and then silence...
I suspect it has to do with the GameStop retail I bought it, since it happens sometimes that clerks "borrow" games from the shop, play them, and then put them back on the shelf...but I'm feeling cynic. May God remember their name when time is due. Sorry I went OT...

wether you agree with it or not, registering gets you access to the subforums, such as tech support, mods,...
