Re: Compatible with?
Gah! Sorry Idaho. I forgot to reply before.
Just so I'm not assuming anything, have you checked out the Apothecary and/or tried the solutions in this sticky? Aside from the game sometimes having issues with newer video drivers, I've not heard of any particular problems with ATI cards.

Re: Compatible with?
Newer ATI drivers cause major problems with MTW, there are few solutions except trying different resolutions and reverting to older drivers. With Vista you're limited as there are no old enough drivers available so this is where you're stuck.

Re: Compatible with?
I have the same thing as Idaho a Windows Vista with a ATI Radeon HD 2400 PRO,but my problem starts and is only at the campaing part. I chose my faction,difficulty,etc. it gets to the map loading screen when it hit full the game crashes saying theres a problem with MTW and must close down. I really want to play this so any links you guys can send Idaho and me?
Re: Compatible with?
Anthony (and Darkvicer), have you tried the solution (in the sticky Martok linked to) concerning the replacement of the two campaign map files? That should really be the first thing to do, because on my bro's computer (nope, haven't got my own just yet), MTW: Gold was crashing when it finished loading the campaign map recently (the fact that eventually MTW: Gold wouldn't even load, as some people might remember me mentioning in an old thread, was down to the latest Nvidia drivers going all-out on my bro's computer and not just a particular game...). However, on replacing the files with the ones linked to in the sticky, hey presto, the campaign map worked just fine. On Nvidia 8600 drivers, nevertheless. I only have issues with the battlemap now (which I can't seem to resolve, but I'm going to improvise and use custom formations and the radar map to fight battles).
The battlemap issues can be resolved to an extent, though. Check post #166 in the following thread...

Oh, and those files you can replace to get the campaign map working - XL doesn't seem to mess with them, and neither does Tyberius' mod. Don't know about other mods. Means you can install mods over a game with the two files replaced, and not have to worry about the mod copying over them.
I believe in a society without rules, laws and regulations. A society where there are only ideas - strict ideas that must be followed to by the letter - and any failure to comply is punishable by death. This would be no dictatorship or police state, no one would be living in terror. It would merely be a 'reassessment of one's preferences,' people living in 'not-so-optimistic security.' So, welcome, those who are 'longing to be blindly obedient and loyal, unbeknownst to them.'

Gah, I totally forgot that solution Kaidonni, thanks for bringing it up.
