NEW Fix for CTD when starting campaign (Nvidia, High End Cards)

[drone]

I tried to update the driver but that didn't work, even rolled back but that didn't work, seems like nothing will :( is there nothing else I can do?? :(

Which Intel card do you have?

Not familiar with the numbering scheme of the Intel graphics, but from the laptop spec I assume it's the base model (hence the lack of numbering ), HD Graphics (Ironlake/Arrandale configuration).

I doubt these suggestions will help (anecdotal superstitions most likely!), but you can try them just for the sake of it:

• Make sure the video resolutions for both the battle and campaign match are set to the lowest settings (600x800 iirc).
• If that doesn't work, match the battle/campaign video resolutions to the desktop resolution (1366x768?) if possible.
• Try both fullscreen and widescreen settings for the game.
• Create an empty file named "skipcredits.txt" in the top level dir of your MTW installation (this bypasses the start movie).
• Make sure no other programs are running (browsers, email clients, explorer, etc) when starting the game.

Ok guys, I have installed the xl mod with the tyberius 3 version on my windows 8 pc. However, the campaigns dont start. Just when the loading seems to end, the game crashes to desktop. I have searched the web for a solution but nothing comes up and many people seem to have this issue with windows 8. None of the compatibilty mods work and I also tried the button fix solution. Nothing. This is deeply annoying since I was really prepeared to play as cumans and crush everything visible. Anyhow, if anyone has a solution for this please let me know.
