Hi,
My computer is a Win7 64bit AMD Phenom system with a Geforce 8800GTX. My native resolution is 2560x1600. I reduced the graphics settings to work under that conditions, (no HDR, low shadows, 2x antialiasing). Under normal conditions the demo works as I would expect it to run. But I don't know why, sometimes the game switches into a mode where framerates drop to 1-3 seconds per frame. Even in the main menu it is stress to move the mouse to a button as I need to wait 3 seconds after each mouse movement to see where the cursor moved to. Sometimes (means 3 of 4 starts) the demo starts with this behavior, sometimes it runs smoothly into the tutorial and then something triggers this (i.e. clicking on a building ). As soon as the demo is in this mode I usually restart the game, but this doesn't always fix it. Alt-tabbing into Window and back didn't help. Switching into Windowed mode seems to work better, but after I changed the resolution to something that doesn't cover my task bar, it is now crashing right after start. I hope the full version I have ordered doesn't do the same.
I have Avira Antivirus and Comodo Firewall in the background running but this is usually not a problem.
