A general suggestion to Atari / Timegate.

Do not release software that does not function normally with a basic out of the box Dell, Gateway, etc.

Many strategy gamers have a limited amount of time they can spend (waste) playing. It is very frustrating to have games crash, AND then have to do the legwork that the testers should have done in the first place.

There is a problem with game quality when members basically say that the game is great except when crashes on me and I have to reboot!

Get the patch out to make this thing function without hanging or allow people to get their money back.

You need to target this message to ALL game developers. I waited eagerly for Star Wars Battlefront to come out and stopped playing it the first day I had it because of bugs. It has been patched (probably more than once) but I haven't taken the time to update my copy and try it again.

It's hard to believe they don't have more problems in the console releases of games given all the problems the PC market has with each new release. Understandable that they can't test every possible configuration before release, but still it sometimes seems like they did little to no testing on some of the games.
