    Version 1.1 is much improved over the original. Now there is an option to reduce the size of the interface, and scrolling seems to be much smoother. I have read they fixed over 600 bugs in the new version. There is of course a patch for the full game too if you already own it.

    To TwinsDad:

    Check http://aoe3.heavengames.com/ for information about that Direct3D bug (and don't forget to read the forums as well :).

    For others who complain about interface, bugs etc. - EnsembleStudios has changed A LOT after releasing a demo (they say like 600 bugs were fixed, interface shrinked a bit, AI improved a lot and so on). This is a DEMO, designed for you to feel what AoEIII will be like (mainly graphics and similar stuff, not balance/gameplay/features etc.), the final product will probably be much better...

    I have been waiting for this for a long time. Sadly the game will not run at all. Every time I run it I get an error that Direct3D cannot load. THe erros of course blames it on my driver stack. Interestingly enough no other game fails to run on this machine.
