Game Crashing to Desktop

**Paladin888** · 01-08-2005, 08:06

I am also having the same problem. Search the entire net and you'll hear from tonnes of people that share our problem, yet not a single solution has been presented. When trying to load a game sometimes it crashes and sometimes it doesn't. I try to run a battle, same thing.

MTW used to work but now it doesn't. I think either the newer nvidia drivers or directx versions are causing problems (it's the only that that has changed over time). Unfortunately Creative Assembly is not patching their game. Only those who haven't updated their machine for two years can play it.

I agree Nickisimo, I too am not going to impair all my other games by using old drivers. I love MTW, but truly Creative Assembly, get in gear.

It's the video drivers! If you're an Nvidia user goto http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp-2k_archive.html and grap an older driver. I'm using 56.64 and it works fine. I'm keeping two driver installs on my machine so I can switch between the two.
