Hello Louis !!1!!11!

Sorry, just stopping by to say hello, don't really know how to help you. My MTW gold edition initially wouldn't run either, even though MTW itself worked perfectly. I eventually solved it by re-installing a .dll file that gave me some fault messages. Don't remember which one. This site helped me out. Of course, none of that could be related to your problem at all.

Can the company not release a patch to solve the problem? Ive bidded on MTW on ebay (not the gold edition!!!) so i hope that when i get it that it will work.

Hi there new Louis, welcome to the Org -- I also have the FX5200 card, and using old fashioned original MTW (ie not Gold Edition) it works fine using an old driver - I think it's the 61.xx edition, although it may be a 5x.xx. In my case I got the card in order to try RTW, and have to use different drivers for each game. In the end I got bored with RTW very quickly and just have the old drivers now, so I can play MTW. I didn't need to mess with the anti-aliasing, but I did have to be careful selecting the screen resolution for the game to run in. It runs fine now with all the performance issues maxxed out (smoke, fauna, huge units etc). Good luck.

If possible, I would highly recommend getting your hands on the MTW Battle Collection if you can find a copy. (It's basically the same as the Gold Edition -- the original game plus Viking Invasion -- except that the BC was produced by Activision.) For some reason, people who have the Battle Collection seem to have fewer technical difficulties than people who have the Gold Edition.

Suddenly I was reminded of that simple song. "Eh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah.... Eh Louis Louis, blah, blah blah, eh something something, tata, tatata, tata."


Eh, regardless, greetings, louis1976. If your stay is not a joyous one, I am able to enforce it in exchange for monetary compensation. It would cost you € 1000 of course. It should not pose a problem
