    Default CTD in transition from campaign to battle

    After paying $99 for a new video card, just for this game, I can play it fine in campaign mode and in battle mode. But I always get a CTD when shifting between the two. It will usually crash during the transition loading screen; in small battles I get to the deployment stage but then it crashes; in one very small battle (3 units v. 5 units) it let me finish the battle. So, I can play battles out of context, or campaigns with auto-calc.

    Am I the only one with this CTD problem?

    Any hope of a patch to fix it?

    Have you tried lowering the graphic settings, playing in a window mode?

    There are a billion things it could be, not least of which is the fact that youve switched graphics cards, and possibly left some traces of drivers from the old graphics card lying around in the system.

    Try using driver cleaner pro or driversweeper to completely remove your old card's drivers, then reinstall the drivers for your new card. No guarantees this will help, but it's always worth a try if you have problems after switching cards.

    Before you try that however i'd recommend following Prodigal's advice - turn all of the graphics settings down to minimum and see if the problem goes away. If it does, try turning them up gradually to identify the problem area. Bear in mind that a $99 graphics card isnt top of the range and so may not be able to handle everything ETW can throw at it.

    Edit: Oh, also, youre more likely to find help at these places:

    I gather from the responses that this is my hardware's fault, not the ETW software's fault?

    I had all the video settings on low already. But I was not playing in Windows mode, I will try that next. Thanks!

    Well, we don't know. It could easily be one or the other, or some interaction between the two.

    Was it crashing with the old graphics card?
    Have you tried any other games since you installed the new card? Do they crash?

    With the old graphics card, I could play neither battles nor campaigns; it would always crash immediately.

    MTW1 works fine on my current setup. These are the only two games I have played in years.

    But if I am the only one with this particular problem then it might be me. Am I the only one?
