This game looks really outstanding, but it performs poorly on my TH55. Bummer. :(

I've managed to solve some of the speed issues by turning off b/g apps, like Quicklaunch, Fonts4OS5, etc...Troopers is really quite remarkable! Extremely difficult to me, so far, but entertaining and the graphics are the best I've seen. The only problem I'm having now is with the supposed hires+ support. I don't know how to run the game in Portrait mode. Anyone else have this problem?

i havent seen this problem with the T3, though if you get a popup error meesage the statusbar comes up and you cant get rid of it... will try turning off background apps and see what that does to the walking speed... otherwise it runs great
