Thread: Help! MTW Crashes . . .

    Default Help! MTW Crashes . . .

    I've had MTW for a couple of years and played it without incident on my old computer. Then my old computer died and I got a new computer. I even invested in a new monitor, a ViewSonic VA191wb (which means widescreen). Beautiful. I can play RTW like no one's buisness.

    But now I can't play MTW. Here's what happens.

    The battle screens, when I'm fighting other factions, works fine. It's the campaign map---or strategy map---that crashes to desk top when:

    (1) I try to set the in-game resolution fro anything higher than 1024x768; or

    (2) I try to load any save game at any resolution.

    Also, of course, the aspect ratio is skewed. I searched the web and these forums and cannot find a way to change the settings to all for a 16:10 (1400x900) setting.

    Here's my info:

    Graphics Card: ATI Raedon X1300pro
    Graphics Memory: 256mb
    OS: Windows XP
    RAM: 1 gig

    This game should run like a dream on this computer. Please help me: I love this game and it frustrates me that I cannot play it.

    Thanks.

    Welcome to the Org, Spidey!

    A lot of people have had difficulties running MTW when new graphic cards and/or video drivers are involved (including yours truly!). I'm not technically-inclined myself, but you can check out this thread for some possible solutions. You might also want to visit the Apothecary, where there are numerous threads devoted the issue as well. Good luck!
