Ok, please move this to the apocotherpy (sp). I can't post there due to my inferior status.

Well, anyway, for my birthday in August I got an Nvidia GeForce 128 mb video card. Now I only have Celeron 900 mhz processor, but with the new video card I was able to play Midieval (without Viking invaision) on the highest resolution with full units sizes and it would run flawlessly, even in full battles. Several days later I recieved Viking Invaision, and after installation I found that I had to reduce the resolution to the 2nd to lowest and reduce unit sizes and special effects to get battles to run. Has anyone else had this problem with VI? Am I missing something blatantly obvious? Please try to help me. Although I should say that graphics are secondary to gameplay for me, so I won't go crazy to try to get it to run better. I should say that I've already tried reinstallation of both M:TW and VI to no avail.

apparently the developers did something to the VI game that altered vid card stuff....i think. we've seen this before. try different vid card drivers and turn your hardware sound acceleration down in dxdiag or control panel. i think that was the fix.

if that doesnt do it, then do a search in the apothecary for your situation. i do remember this happening before and i think the fix is in there somewhere.
