Hi, i just bought Warhammer DoW2 on Steam amd i'm having some serious video and sound issues.
when i run the performance test, even with the settings all at low, i get approximatly 10 FP;. when i disable the sound, it's around 19 FPS.

when the sound is enabled in the performance test, it lags terribly.
Sometime when i try to change some graphic options the game crashes with a Direct X error (telling me that my version of direct x might be too old).

the problem is : i updated Direct X, my video card  drivers, divx codecs, my sound card drivers, even my chipset drivers, and there's no improvement whatsoever.

i uninstalled and redownloaded the game, it did noting either. i tried to lower the resolution, i gained around 3FPS.

I'm currently running on windows 7 x64, with 4 GB of RAM and a geForce8800GT with the latest beta drivers (i tried the latest official release too)

Any help would really be appreciated, i don't know what to do anymore. I sent an email to THQ but since it's the week-end i don't expect a response before at least tuesday or wednesday

Thanks in advance!

I'm having problems too.  Mine are different.
 
I have a media center downstairs and I play on that due to the audio, and my TV is kinda big.  The text is too fucking small for me to read anything.  If I lower the res, it barely helps, and all it does it make the icons bigger (text is still tiny).  :(
 
Need help.

Me too, unfortunately the performance bugs ruin what is otherwise a kickass game. Luckily it doesn't seem to manifest in the online portion, which is what I normally play. For me my system runs it at a smooth 60fps the whole time, but then all of a sudden it will drop to 10fps and stay there. Not sure why. It seems to affect Nvidia systems only. Considering it's ATI-optimized I'm smelling something fishy.  
 
You might check or ask their tech support forums for a solution. 

That's odd. I haven't had any performance issues with the game here running on an 8800GT. And I've only been playing the SP portion.
 
I'm on XP 32-bit though, and still using the 196.34 beta drivers. I would suggest updating to the latest driver or rolling back to a previous one, the last few times I updated mine I've had nothing but trouble so I just stick to what seems to work well with all the games I play. I've had trouble with pretty much every driver since 180.xx with a few exceptions.

" @KaosAngel:  You can try increasing your DPI in the display settings in Windows. That would affect everything though and not just the game, but it could be a valid solution. "

i tried 2 set of drivers and nothing worked... i could always try an older one -_-; god i want my game to work T_T  edit : omg it "worked".. i mean.. it could still be better but god at least the performance test passes and i can play with medium settings thanks so much i would have never though to use an older driver "
