Battle Map Problem

[dude]

I have installed and am playing Medieval Total War. The Campaign Map works fine, and I can play that. I can get to the Battle Map without it crashing, but that isn't very useful since the battle map looks like this:


What can I do?

You have a video card/driver issue. The best place to start looking is in the Apothecary (see further down the forum index). I'd hazard a guess at an Nvidia card with a new driver - you may need to go to the Nvidia site and download an older one if this is the case.

If it's not that then you really need to send your generals for drugs testing

Actually, my video card is a Ati Radeon Xpress 200M. Are there any known issues with this video card? I'll look in the Apothecary as you suggested.

I found someone with the same problem and video card, (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=86003) but no solution.

I think you need to run dxdiag from the command prompt, that should run you through the various options. Good luck.

Edit: sorry, I'm assuming you know this, but if not: go to the START menu, select RUN, then enter "dxdiag" into the box.
