Hello, I'm an old CO:BftB player and I was really looking forward to buying the all-in-one theater pack. After messing around for a while with the new engine, though, I'm having some reservations.
- First of all, and worst of all, the game crashes consistently after I play for a while.
- The engine is a lot slower, compared to CO1. It really doesn't perform well on my system (I understand that a solution is in the works?)
- In CO1, whenever I assigned a mission a mission to a formation, a window would automatically pop up and I could modify the parameters of that mission; now, I have to assign a mission, right-click on the mission icon, select Edit Task and edit the parameters. This can cause some aggravation, as the mission icons are quite small, and if you mis-click and de-select, then you have to first select the unit again (oh no, wait, it was a different unit! and so on...), the view will center on that unit and you will lose sight of the mission icon, if you're not zoomed-out far enough, etc.
It may sound like I'm nit picking, but the new system for editing tasks really spoiled my enjoyment of the game. I think that the Edit Task screen should pop up immediately when I set up a mission (as it was in CO1)...
Additionally, I think that it should also be possible to Edit Taks by selecting a mission in the new Plans Window.
I like the fact that you can split and re-arrange the interface as you like, though. And I'm looking forward to checking out the new Africa theater. I'd really like first to see some improvements on these issues, though.
Any help with my crash issue would also be appreciated. My specs:
Laptop: Win 8.1 (64 bit), integrated chipset AMD A10-5750M
Desktop: Win 7 (64 bit), Intel Core i7-920, nVidia GTX 560 ti
