Needing Tech Help with STW Warlord Edition

[hachiman]

Hi

Tried to post in the Tech forums'but it won't let me.
Also i was hoping to maybe get qucker answers than have to trawl through the 48 Pages of Video Probs on that Thread.

Most people here won't know me'but i Hachiman from the very old STW Days and the old Org Boards and was active in the Community back from before we even though STW was a pipe dream that was never gonna get released.

I have been missing for several Years'but yesterday reinstalled STW Warlord Edition and have some minor problems that i never used to get.

My current specs.

XP Pro
ABIT NF7 Mobo
Athlon 2500XP at 2GHz
1024MB DDR400 Ram
Soundblaster Live 5.1
9800Pro using Cat3.5(Not the latest Drivers'but i get Best Benchmarks with them)

Having a few Issues.

1 This is the worst.
When i try and exit the game it hands on theDo you
really wat to quit screen).
I can't even Ctrl Alt Del or Alt Tab and have to Turn off
my PC.

2 Subtitles in the Throne Room are appearing well before
the speech.

3 Game Maps seem a lot Darker than i remember or in
Medieval.I can raise the Gamma'but then it makes the
menus practically White.


Any ideas particuarly with the 1st 2 issues?
I have patched to 1.02.

Thanx

Welcome back hachiman When I saw the name on the index screen, I thought oh, another hachiman. But it turns out you are the real deal.

I'm going to move this topic to the Apothecary for you. You will be able to reply to any questions or comments in that forum.

BTW, I recently gave STW a try. I have a Radeon 9700 (and XP) and noticed no dark map. I did note the text/speech out of synch though. When I exit STW, the game freezes, but I can use the task manager to end process on it. I think I only exited normally once in about a dozen tries.
