Im not trying to badmouth TK and his work, but has anyone inquired as to what his machine specs are and does he consider what the average specs of the machines that the people that buy his products are?
It just seems that developers are designing games/sims for machines that arent even on the market yet. Not everyone can afford a state of the art computer these days, for example, some developers have graphics cards that cost more than my whole system!
EDIT; these are my specs, and luckily Ive not experienced the problems others have, although WoI is a bit choppy,
