    Not as far as I'm aware.

    I'm assuming you mean Nvidia 9xxx series cards and not old ATI 9000 series cards? Assuming it's the former there are no known cases of users trying to run MTW on a 9xxx series card as yet (unless I've missed something?). It's likely to be much the same as 8xxx series cards however.

    Unfortunately if you want to play games like MTW you will probably need to keep an older system handy for that purpose.

    Hi Cynwulf,
    thx for your reply, so this meens in a fue years nearly no one cant play MTW VI anymore becose the old grafic cards arent for sale then and the driver updates will just be for newer cards, it will be Nvidea 8000 or 9000?? i find it hard to believe that there will be no updates for this.
    i got more old games running just fine its only MTWVI wot cant be played and this is my favorite isnt there any thing we cane do or sega????

    is it just the Nvidia 8/9-series cards that have this problem? If so you could use another card,if there's anything that matches the speed of the 8 and 9 series cards.

    Hi mate
    I know wot you meen mate, but i dont think there s a grafic card with simler speed, becose i also use other games and programs wot require s a better card like 8000.
    But i dont think its got to do somme thing with the grafic card, but with updates and drivers this all started with the new grafic card wot been also made for windows vista.

    so i think there will be updates or drivers wot will fix this in time, i cant believe that they will not do any thing with it becose they want to sell there game s to and there will be only newer cards wot will hold Vista so i think there will be updates.
    Maybe the community cane do somme thing

    In my humble little opinion, peter de123 should be properly sainted for this discovery...

    My ATI-sapphire Radeon x1950Pro AGP, would not go anywhere near a MTW-campaign until I found out about this and I fashioned some replacement-files of my own, all according to peter de123's info and files he supplied. Since then there have not been any problems at all with MTW.

    - Now, I am not able to determine here if this thread got a sticky or not, but if it don’t, I sure think that it deserves one.

    Thankyou, you are a god among men, peter_de123. There are no words good enough to express how happy and thankful I am for this fix.

    So If I read this correctly, you only have to replace these TWO files? And yes I have the 8800 GT VC, and yes the game crashes when I load up the campaign game, I'm gonna reinstall the game and see if this works!

    I'm still having a problem with the battlemap. The battle map loads but I'm getting a flickering of the screen. The pointer arrow also leaves trails when I move the mouse. With the game options I can only set the resolution of the battle map to 640 x 480. I have Nvidia 9600. Any sugestions would be appreciated.

    Hi everyone!

    I have MTW + VI. I have my own fix with buttons described above. Also, that rapidshare link does not work anymore. But first the story.

    So, I was playing campaign for a while and it start crashing all the time. Couldn't even play for a very quick moment. Few clicks and crash. So I start reading posts. Did everything that was advised as a solution. Nope. Came across this post and could not find a good link for those buttons archive. Eventually found it and downloaded. Did not work. But then, game stopped crashing and I played with no crashing until I quit the game. Then, I wanted to play again and the same problem - CDT right after I loaded the game and did few clicks. So, I started to track my actions to see when the game really crash. I noticed that it crashes only when I click one province and only. Why!? So I thought for a while what is so diferrent about that province. And I found what is that. That province had number of building built so they could no longer be displayed in one page. So, I loaded the game and clicked on that province. Game froze before the crash just enough to see that the arrow button that supposed to appear to allow changing to the next page is not shown. So, I figured that the dude is right and it is really buttons. So, I was thinking that if buttons fix I downloaded does not help and one moment those buttons were loaded correctly, as I mentioned above I could play for as long as I needed before I quit the game, I need to find what to do to make them to be loaded correctly. Unfortunately was not lucky. Then I thought, well if other buttons work well why just not copy any other buttons and rename them to have the same name as bad buttons. Who cares they does not fit or looks ugly, important is it that game works. I did so by renaming ipnext and ipprev. They sort of the same arrows. Loaded my game and clicked that province. Worked! Button were not actually ugly and fit well. Just minor overlapping. But the most important it worked. Had not play long so far. Tried, worked and decided to post about it as probably there's many people struggling with this. We'll see how it works further. But this fixes only one issue with buttons. Still have frequent CDT on loading games.

    Hope this will help others.
