New to the online Multiplayer community and had been logging on without a hitch for about a week and now I can't log on to the EA/STW server.
Generally I get a *Failed To Log On* message.
Occasionally crash to the desktop after hitting the continue button.
log the following errors:
D:\Shogungold\Main3d_1.cpp(4949) : DirectX call : DDERR_OUTOFVIDEOMEMORY
Errors for session started: Sun Jan 18 21:06:56 2004

Ran DXDIAG -- no problems or errors
generally have flashing menu screen but can still play singleplayer games and used to have only minor issues logging in and joining games.
Occasionally experience random CTDs but generally have a stable game.

color bit setting on desktop: 32 bit
smoke and fauna on/off? : on
unit size in game: 60
My funniest CTD was using ninja to attack priests (holy retribution?). Only happened one game, though.
I read through the forum but am not so very computer literate so I'm still unable to resolve the issue.
would appreciate any assistance.

Lastly...I'm trying to reach ShinGaiJin...can anyone hook me up?

Regards and amny thanks to the community just for being here ~

The MI/WE server is shut down. See the thread in the sword dojo for details. You can most likely contact GaiJin at the Clan Shinkage forum http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wave.gif

Yes...sad but true...it is gone.
I have tried a few times but get....Failed to connect.
Be glad when Barocca's mod is finished.

You can still play MI online on the shogun server http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif Original shogun as well. So all is not lost.
