Allright, I just got the game but are unable to play it actually.
Everytime I start a campaign, pick a country and press 'start campaign' I get the load screen.
When the bar is completely red I get a black screen for a second, then the game menu for a second and then it all crashes :help: ........What can I do about this?????
btw: I did patch the game with the 1.1 patch:
(and is there a simpel way to take screenies?)
What version of DirectX do you have?
I think you'll need version 8.1 or newer to play it.

Greetings, Singleton Mosby!
Check out this thread, which discusses the same problem at somewhat greater length. In the end, rolling back your video driver might take care of the issue.
just like Martok said... i was having the same issue, and this thread talks about that! :2thumbsup:
setting the anti-aliasing from "off" to "2x" in the video card performance settings should solve the crashing right before the campaign screen loads.

Ok, that is great and all but where can I find a screen in which I can change it?Quote:

go to 'display properties'

im not sure if everything will be the same for your video card... i have a GeForce 7300 LE card which came on my brand new computer. so yours might be different
Damn, it isn't there........... is there another way to change it?Quote:

I did a Google search, but didn't find much about your card and MTW, aside from one previous post on the subject here. Have you tried using a newer/older driver? Also, what version of Direct X are you running? You probably won't want to be running a Direct X above 7/8. Sometimes newer versions of Directx and old cards can cause problems. Also try playing the game at a lower resolution to see if that helps.
I run dX 9. Going to try to downgrade it to 8 then.Quote:

I had the same problem (CTD). running XP, GeForce4 mx 4000. What I had to do to fix the problem was install the original driver that came with my video card. However now I have horrible lag during battles, no matter how small the armies. Strange thing is, over the 4 years I have had the game I have uninstalled and reinstalled it numerous times with never a problem, until now. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
