I am new to STW and also to this site. Someone on another site told me I could probably get help with the problems I am having trouble playing STW on windows XP. I have a fairly new computer running Windows XP SP 2. 3.2 gig intel pentium, 512 MB RAM, and NVIDIA Geforce FX 5200 card with 128 video memory. I bought the game from Sold-Out video and everthing installed alright. It is the Warlord Edition. I also installed the STWWF_v1.02b patch that came on the game CD. I have encountered a couple of problems.
1. Sometimes when I click the game icon to start the game my computer restarts. I am then able to play the game by clicking the icon again.
2. Lately the game has been freezing up when I try to start or leave the game. The screen goes blank and I have to use the off switch to restart.
3. The game will always crash if I attempt to use the battle screens. The one where you lead the battle yourself. When the battle is over and it gives you the result screen, when I try to leave that screen the game crashes.
The person who referred me said something about using Windows compatibility mode???
Sorry for the long post. I don't know much about computers. I might be better off playing Rome, Total War. I just found out about it and am assuming that my computer could handle it.![]()
