    So I installed it in C:\Games\Activision\RTW. I only bothered to get up to EB 1.1. I'll mess with EB 1.2 at a later time. I've been itching to play for so long, I just want to play. Except...

    Now I've another problem. The battle mini-map flickers like a strobe light. It's exceptionally annoying. I'm sure it has something to do with my video card or something like that. Of course.

    I'm running dual ATI Radeon HD 4850s.

    PS: I searched on the forums here and on Google; I found exactly what I was looking for on through Google, but when I clicked on it, it took me to the RTW main forum page, not the thread page.

    Thanks in advance.
    From Theodotos I.

    So, you probably need to upgrade, or downgrade, your video drivers.

    Having problems getting EB2 to run? Try these solutions.

    I do NOT answer PM requests for help with EB. Ask in a new help thread in the tech help forum.

    That actually almost makes me laugh out loud at the absurdity of it all, because you're probably right. I probably need to DOWNGRADE them or something! Man, it's sorta funny actually.

    Thanks for your help, Bovi. I'll probably just stick with the seizure inducing mini-map.

    Perhaps this info may prove useful:

    Code:
    Driver Packaging Version	8.53-080820a-068908C-ATI	
    Catalyst® Version	08.9	
    Provider	ATI Technologies Inc.	
    2D Driver Version	7.01.01.821	
    (...)	
    Direct3D Version	7.14.10.0612	
    OpenGL Version	6.14.10.7976	
    Catalyst® Control Center Version	2008.0820.2135.36847
    My HD4870 (same driver as the HD4950, same chipset: the RVX770 IIRC) doesn't yield a flickering minimap on screen. I should note that I have my CCC override the application settings, and that I have (naturally) opted for the highest settings available.
