Assert Failed -- Unplayable

[unmerged(11007)]

I bought HOI when it first came out and have tried playing it numerous times on 2 different computers. I have never been able to get past a couple years of gameplay before the game crashes to desktop. Hopefully someone can help me get through an entire campaign of this great game. Here is the debug message from my latest attempt to play a game:

Assert Failed

I get the impression that this is an error perhaps linked to a DirectX SDK. Do you have one installed? Can you uninstall it a try to play again?

I'll move you over to Support.

Okay let's try some standard things.
1) Rename the AVI folder to AVI_back
2) Set the color depth to 16BIT
3) Turn off everything in the background like E-mail/ICQ/Messenger, Virus protection and everything in the system tray beside the clock.

Thanks all for your help. I uninstalled DX SDK and so far after a few hours of play I've had no problems. Hopefully (and I suspect you are right 2Coats) this was the culprit and I can continue playing.

Now I can start posting in the General Discussions to figure out why I keep getting my butt kicked by the AI

Glad that worked out for you.
