RTW Graphics Help!!!

That sounds more like a graphics card problem, OR it could be your screen resolution. Try updating your driver as stated by Omanes, or if that doesn't work, set the screen resolution (in RTW's video options) to a higher setting and to a 32 bit depth. E.g. 1280x1024 for a 17" standard (not widescreen) monitor, or 1024x768 for a 15" etc. Set it to it's highest resolution possible.

I've heard from someone that its the graphic file on the disc that seems to be the problem,not the computer or graphics card. Because when i uninstalled it and reinstalled it RTW still had the same graphics. The graphics before i clicked the auto-detect best graphics for my computer button which is when the battle graphics went weird. I've played RTW for months and this only happened last week.

I doubt that, the game doesn't read graphics from the disc, rather, it reads it straight from your harddrive... I am not saying that it isn't possible but I still strongly recommend that you update your driver.

Really, other than that, I don't have much of an idea.

Where can i find out what graphic cards i have on my computer? So i can update my drivers. I have windows Vista.

You can find out which graphics card you have by typing in "dxdiag" in the search box on the start menu. This will open up the DirectX Diagnostics Tool.

Once the DirectX tool has opened, select the "Display" tab. In the "Device" section, labelled "Name:" you should see the graphics card's identity.

If the card has "ATI" in its name, then you can download the latest drivers from here. Select the version of Vista (32-bit or 64-bit), the type of card and then the card itself as identified in the DirectX tool.

If the card has "Nvidia" in its name, then you can download the dirvers from here.

If in doubt over the number of bits your OS has, you can check by right clicking on "Computer" on the desktop and selecting properties. Under the "System" section labelled "System type:" you should find the number.

Good luck

It says Intel Express Chipset Family which means i must have Windows Vista Basic or Standard. Where and how can i get better graphics cards?

You can find Intel drivers here.

Navigate to the "Graphics" menu on the left hand side of the page.

Select your type of computer (Desktop/Laptop) and then select your graphics card as specified in the DirectX Diagnostics Tool from the the list.

Select your operating system and click continue. As said before, the number of bits the OS has can be found by right clicking on "Computer" on the desktop and selecting properties. Under the "System" section labelled "System type:" you should find the number.

Good luck
