I have it and will try it again after they patch. It ran like crap for me.

A lot of people are up in arms about the fps issue. While I understand as a developer, you need to have your product ready and playable for it's release, I personally am not going to let this sway my opinion of the game or MS. They served me well initially when I bought this game in the 90's. It gave me hundreds upon hundreds upon years upon years of fun, and all for a mere $60 total.

I have no issue being patient while they get things straight.

Exactly my thinking.

I feel the same about the original game. I enjoyed the hell out of it. This remake has soured me on it though. They either didn't test, or just didn't care. This title was anticipated by a lot of people and could have been a good experience right out of the box. But for a lot of people it isn't. I was really excited to dive back into this one, but the game is just unplayable and frankly I don't really care about it now. I'll still give it a shot if they fix it, but it's already lost the shiny for me.

Unplayable? I must be having a different issue because it's very playable for me...in a multiplayer match when too many players are in the game, over 6, the game speed just stutters and pauses for seconds at a time...but this occurs for everyone seemingly synchronized, so it's more like random game pausing than lag...I've never lost anything due to it, it just makes the game take longer

and in a singleplayer match, it doesn't matter how many CPU's, it never loses frames or lags

In singleplayer I started losing framerate around the 150 unit mark in 3 man game

The original AOK/AOC would do that as well with too many units/buildings. We used to hit that max pretty often in world map and hero fest..synchronized lag...felt like a bandwidth/netcode issue to me.

Betas tab. Performance Beta. BOOM.

It chugs along for me right from the start. I have a pretty good PC now, so I am not sure why it would be so terrible. Going to give it a try with the performance beta.
