Question about XL mod and VI expansion

[Arciel]

hmm...what exactly does turning on anti-aliasing do? In both of my MTW and RTW games, it's always set to off and the games run pretty much fine. With the exception of campaign and battle lag which I think is due to my PC's mbRAM(only has 464mb RAM while my laptop has 222mbRAM).

The anti-aliasing gives the appearance of smoother images. It makes the graphics on the screen more eye-pleasing. Otherwise your images would look blocky. (Is that such a word?)
Not sure why it's required to run a campaign game to prevent CTD and not other options in the game. Maybe the use of the map in the campaign? I just know I couldn't play a campaign without adjusting the AA.

If you are using Nvidia, keep in mind that the newer drivers, those released after the game cause crashes.
The most stable drivers for MTW are those released at the time of MTW -2004.
And these are:

61.76
61.77

and


66.93

reverting back to these drivers solved my problems.
Hope it helps

Exactly Coldprecision. I have 61.76 for an old GeForce 2 MX graphic card. And the game works without a problem.
I'm hoping for a upgrade soon though, and good-bye MTW (for a while at least)

[ColdPrecision]

Well I recently gotten a new Rig myself.
Dont worry, it's a 3 minute job for reverting between the old and new drivers.
Just get install .exe for both the old and the new patches and keep them somewhere. so you can upgrade / re roll drivers without having to DL anything.
