    ...I'm really starting to lose my temper here!!

    It's my first Total War game and I'm in love, the campaign, co-op campaign, even the multiplayer is so satisfying. I love how tactical it gets and I can't believe little details like how the units will individually execute one another, I find myself often zooming in just to watch the chaos unfold.

    But WHY, WHY is it so messed up? In the 130 hours I've played of this game, so far I've NEVER completed a co-op campaign. The game glitches out on you before you can get that far, and it gets stuck in some endless wait. When playing multiplayer I can hardly ever find a game through matchmaking, it either gets stuck on "opponent found, arranging battle" - which, by the way, you can't cancel out of in any way - I have to CTRL + ALT + DELETE my way out of it (this is also the only way to get clan tokens, which you need to further upgrade your units, and as such I hardly ever get any of them) - and when I actually do get inside a game, I lose connection to Steam (which aborts the game), get dropped from the host, or my partner (or even my opponents) get dropped.

    I'm not even going to get into all the other minor bugs I've experienced with this game...

    I wish this game would work properly, I really do. How is it possible for a game to be this messed up in this day and age?

    Rant off.

    Because CA has never cared much about patching their games.

    @Galiant:  
     
    I was in your same position with Empire: Total War (256 hours). My advice is to check out the http://www.twcenter.net/forums/index.php , it's a great place to find mods and support; they've done more to support the Total War series than CA. Best of luck!
