How Total Warhammer has been optimised. Using multi threading of CPUs.
- Thread starter ShogunDarius
- Start date
Maybe that is after Windows OS takes its share, plus other overheads.

I know a YouTube embargo lifts today, so reviews might be included in that. But yea in general strategy games aren't popular on gaf and most people into them are only cautiously optimistic about this one. I don't no shit about warhammer, but this will hopefully be my first total war since shogun 2.
this is great, everygame should be optimized for hyperthreating
Lol!
As far as I know, unless the application is large address aware, a 32 bit application can only access up to 2GB of memory. If it's large address aware, then it can access up to 4GB.

Exciting stuff I love me some Total War. Glad they sort of backed off the DLC thing but I doubt it's CAs decision.

Just checked this, yeah. Weird that CA hadn't bothered to make the modifications necessary to safely set that flag since they stayed at 32bit for so long
not really, we're talking about CA here.
i pre-ordered the game and i have my fingers crossed so it won't be an empire/rome 2 launch. That said my laptop is below specs and i'll be buying a new desktop in august so hopefully the game will have some patches launched by then.
i have seen a lot of questions about the chaos warriors DLC, it has changed from a pre-order bonus only to it's free for 1 week to any buyer.

That's good, but they should have done that 10 years ago.

Yea it's a bit of a weird one for me, on one hand a fantasy Total War game is something I have wanted for for a long time and I'm genuinely excited for it but on the other hand CA have really let the ball drop in several areas with their most recent games. To straight up lying about Rome 2's ai and their exploitative dlc practices, it makes it hard to believe whatever they say about their Total War games. Which is a pity because I want to love them.

Probably because each new Total War that gets released becomes the last straw for different people. I quit after Rome 2.

Well these reviews sound awesome to me.
Read through them both and the reviewers seem to love the game bar a couple of gripes.
I very much agree with this, and it's why I often find myself re-installing the first M:TW often and playing that game, when I have M:TW2, Empire, and Shogun 2 in my library as well. I still love the later entries, but I really enjoyed the almost Risk-esque structure of the world map, and how fast/easy it is to move your troops around to where you need to go.
Having to watch the walking animations for every single set of units or agents (even if they can be sped up) makes the campaign painfully slower, counteracting some of the really amazing advancements they've made in the games.

Is anyone making an OT for this? I checked the volunteer thread but I didn't see any claims.
I think Empire is my favorite currently, for the time period and how it straddles modern TW vs. older TW.It's also their most ambitious title besides maybe this one. I don't care for Shogun's setting and that's the prime factor in what I consider my favorite. I love Medieval II as well (the religion aspects are awesome) but it's a little to dated for me. I would love Medieval III.

My 5820k awaits CA.
This is half unrelated but if my temps are solid (65c under stress) should i try going from 4.3ghz to 4.5ghz

I'm kinda hyped now, to be honest, good reviews too.
What kind of stress? What do your voltages look like?
God damn I know cpu 0 is suppose to be the focus but No.2 has me in stitches.

Err I meant RealBench's full stress test actually. and for my voltages...i'd have to double check but when I got my PC and was OC'ing I was in the PC thread a lot getting help. i have a liquid cooler so my temps are generally really good. its an Asetek something or other. i forget the exact one. i don't really find a "need" to OC further in any game i play so far tho.

Well, it's scoring/reviewing very well thus far.

So, sounds like it's worth checking out if you got the hardware for it.
As for performance, here's a guy running the game on a GTX 970 at ~40 FPS with Ultra Presets & a i7 4770K CPU and 16GB of RAM. He said he has had no crashes after 30 hours of gameplay thus far.

He said you can get around 60FPS with the 970 using HIGH presets instead of Ultra.
