Problem with grafics

[Lazul]

Ok here is the problem...

In Map mode the game runs nicely, but when i have like 2000 soldiers at the same time in a battle, my comp. is having problems... i have geforce3 and relativly new computer.
Everything runs nicly but when all the units are moving, it stops for 1 milisecond and then runs 1 second, stops for a milisecond and runs 1 second..... ETC ETC


So what computers are you guys using? and do you have any tips to fix the problem? New drivers or something?

It could be the size of your processor etc or the fact a firewall could be running in the backround

Hi Lazul would you like to give as a better idea of your system.

We would quite like to know:

your processor speed
your sound card
anything else you can think of.

Until then you might want to check the MTW support page and ensure you have downloaded the latest drivers for your graphics card aswell as the MTW patch to version 1.1 from here.

Hope we can sort your problems out.

as a start, turn down your sound acceleration and sound sampling. this is a common problem in mtw and a known issue. if you still have problems after that, post more of your specs and we'll have a look-see.

If that's the bad version of Swedish English,
I should have went to school there.

I think that this is the Vcard and the CPU being to slow...given the fact that it starts happening with the number of troops getting larger.

It's also not a bad idea to make sure nothing else is running in the background while playing MTW.

For instance, virus protection software, freeware apps, or anything that runs continuously. Look in your system tray for obscure icons and disable them.

EndItAll is a good program for killing numerous background tasks in one click of the mouse. I'm sure a web search will give you some places to download it (like ZDnet.com).

Hey guys would a G4 vcard be suitable for MTW?
