I tested the Beta and reported my issues as well, truth is, the Beta performed better on my system than the new release does. I understand my system is old and needs to be updated. I understand that AH needs to move forward and things need to change. I know that someday, I'll have some extra cash and will be able to upgrade, I just can't now, not because I'm lazy and don't work, life has dealt me more important issues. I also understand that if my system played it well, I probably would feel like most of you do who have no problems. I also understand that through no fault of my own and even though I still pay the same amount of money, I'm getting less for it. I'm coming to grips with it but when overnight I went from playable to basically unplayable, yeah, it's frustrating. People need a place to vent where there are others who hopefully understand the frustration. My wife and daughter basically think it's just a dumb game. My coworkers and friends are either still trying to figure out VHS, or just think I'm wasting my time. So, we look to our AH friends and family for a little support and understanding. Sorry we're such a burden, but in this case, you're all we have, so come on people, where's the love?
