Ok, the game has been out 3 weeks now.First of all Id like to say I enjoy the game,but there are some problems...

Im not into singleplayer gaming much,mostly Multiplayer.Seems the online community for the game is SLOWLY growing,I see new faces in there daily.Ive been a computer gamer since 1984(commodore64) and ive played alot of titles over the years,as of more recently,last few years, ive seen alot of rts games released,many of them rushed out and then a total lack of support.A&A is one of those rts games that has potential to survive,but there has been a lack of advertising & support. I have been trying to get the word out to my gaming buddies to try the demo, but most peeps say they have never even heard of the game...Xmas is coming up,I guess since atari pumps out so many titles they wont be much help as far as advertising.Now to the issue of support, game has been out 3 weeks, how come I havent heard anything about a patch???? As far as my problems, I crash to desktop on average one out a 10 games. Last night it happened 3 out of 4 multi games,and one time was in staging....I need to send the logs, but reading the forums, and I am hearing other peeps having same problem..

System Specs: Custom Rig built by me (Building computers since 1999)

AMD Barton 2500+ @2 Ghz
Abit Nf7-s
2x512 3200 ddr
Ati Radeon 9800pro
xp pro sp1
latest drivers

Ok are yall even working on a patch yet?

Onto my wishlist....Some things that could be added in a Patch/Exp or even ideas for A&A 2 lol
(Multiplayer)

More Nations: Italy,French,Canadian,Chinese
More Defensive Fortifications: Trenches,Sandbagged walls,Concrete Walls,Towers,Barb Wire,Cities with garrisonable buildings
Bigger Maps
Expanded Naval
Expanded Airforce
Bigger Unit Max

Only one current balance issue i see is the Nuke, should have slower regenerate speed or cost 2500xp... too powerful and available

Otherwise I am enjoying this... I dont wanna see the Multiplayer die off quick like alot of other rts titles

Hey there Phan...

Not sure you caught this post, but here is a link to it that explains how to submit bug reports and problems to TimeGate. I have submitted several now, and they are responding to every one. Most player's problems have been due to driver issues either with their computer, or with their graphics card (usually the latter). Be sure to check your manufacturer and see if there is a driver update for your card if you have not already done so.

A game crash is not kewl on any level. I hope you get it resolved.

I would also recommend that you get the latest video drivers for your ATI card, they just released some new drivers recently. You can download it here:

This game is based on Axis & Allies, despite peoples protests to the contrary. In Axis & Allies there are 5 major powers. That's it, which is why other countries are not included, nor should they be. Maybe if they created an Axis & Allies 'Enhanced' version or something, they could be included, but not in a game based on concepts found in the original board game where there were only 5 countries.
