Why does EF2 demo run like c#@p on my system?

Hi,
I downloaded the EF2 demo the other day, and installed it today, But it runs rubbish on my system, is it not optimised or something, cos i can run any other game/3d program quite well.

bty, i had to switch off precompressed textures to get it to run, will this affect it much?

Hi, I was told that EF2 is VERY demanding on PCs and that when it comes out, a few more optimizations will be added in, BUT it will require a top of the line PC in order to get fairly decent FPS. The same went for EF when it first came out.

EF ran in high res on my Duron600.
I currently have a pc that far exceeds the spec for EF2, it should run well.
I have a XP1800, so its not exactely processor limited.
I have 768mb of ram, so its not short of memory either.
I also have a 9700pro, so gfx wise, my rig aint lacking.

The EF2 demo ran great for me, even with all options turned on. The only thing I left off was shadows. I don't see why you are having problems on your rig, since your vid card is like 3x faster than mines.

Neither do i.
Ive changed the shadows from complex to simple, and well as lighting from complex to simple.
Everything else is at max, and res is 1280x1024(i have to use this res, to maintain the image quality on my TFT).
Even Unreal2 runs better than this, and its a far more demanding game.
