I looked thru posts couldnt seethe answer to my problem just bought RW2 retail, and the game just will not play constant crashing cant even get to first contact, message comes up as engine.exe stopped working, and cpu usage is at 100%, play shogun total war on this system so that should nt be an issue, have updated drivers, and downloaded the software so it actually lets me input the activation code have tryed changing settings and resolution all come up blank.im no computer wiz so i like games to run without having to go into programs and tinker with files , is this a known issue with windows 7, ? have also tryed running in compatability mode XP sp3, nothing works, really not happy at this time, and would really appreciate some help
