I don't know where to ask this, I don't visit any other forums. This is the game in question:

I would not say buggy. But still unoptimized. You need a very good PC to play it. I like the Neocore strategy games, but they do tend to be poorly optimized and CPU/RAM demanding.

Reading through the reviews seems to show a lot of people saying that it is playable now. One person recommends checking all of the settings and it appears common for people to say that this game is jerky or laggy until patched and/or settings changed. The most recent updates seem to indicate that it is working better now. Good luck.

When I got it, the game didn't even got to the menu before it crashed - and I am not even kidding. After the patches it seems to be working without a problem. As for me - the problem solved.
The state of the game after the release though - was shameful indeed.

Also they finally got the overlay working. I am just now going to get into this game and I pre-ordered it lol.

I hated the fact that the overlay wasn't working because I use the ♥♥♥♥ out of it, in a game like this where there are long sit downs, I must have functioning overlay for chat,screens & browser.

Also at launch this game ran like crap, now seems to run alot smoother, only took Neocore 2 years to fix it, better late then never right? lol

if you are lucky you just need to click on the right exe there are like 6 different ones depending on window version (XP, Vista, 7) and cpu version (32-64)


That last one makes it look like a bit of user error could be the reason if people are still having trouble.

I was looking at this pretty hardcore today too. That price is pretty good, especially if they ARE still actively supporting it.

You can get it dirt cheap in a bundle from the bundle stars

King Arthur 2 and the DLC's DRM free here:

Still have to find a DRM free for the first one.

I played it and enjoyed it very much, though I did like the first one more. Not to say the second was a bad game - I played them back to back I liked them so much - if that didn't burn me out it's pretty obvious I'm a fan.

I DID encounter one bug with a quest... but I download a series of patches that fixed my quest and I can't say I noticed any other bugs. I didn't want to sign on for the downloader and I'm very picky about where I download patches but I did eventually find a site where I could get them one by one to bring me up to current.

Thanks, everyone. My PC is a mid-range build, so I'll check it out, and post results here.
