Buy more ram or don't even think about complaining about anything else.
Wasn't complaining, I was asking and you answered, so thnx.
Pfft. You were trying to blame BV or SecuROM for your own ineptitude in reading the system requirements.
Seriously, more RAM. RAM makes it go whoosh. Did you know there were special event videos in the game? Can't see them with that piddly RAM amount. 1 gig is your absolute minimum for base + two or more EPs (the official site is too dang conservative and apparently thinks we like to play at 1 sim day = 1 real day), but if you can get up to 2 gigs it's best.
*planning on doubling up to 4 gigs RAM before Christmas*
Gwill:
* Gwill has 4 gigs
Zazazu:
*throws stuff at Gwill*
Do you also have the ATI Radeon x1950s I'm planning on getting? Brat.
Gwill:
Nah, it's an old Sapphire Radeon X700 from 2005. I might have to find a way to seriously upgrade my whole computer. The RAM and one of the hard drives are soon going to be the only bits worth keeping.

512 ?? good lord. I had 1 GB and I had to turn off every non essential service and apps on my PC, just to play a smallish house with not too many people in it. The minute I started getting a lot of visitors, the game would start swapping heavily and slow to a crawl. 2 GB should be your minimum.
But yeah, wasn't there some issue with the game becoming reaaaaally slow until you denied the game access to the net?
BTW, you wouldn't necessarily have to shut your internet off when you play the game. I would assume denying the game access to the net is enough. Which means running a firewall. Which means less ram for the game which means....
MOAR RAMS
unless you use your host file to do the job.
