Crashes, Crashes, Crashes...

[Castellon]

Sorry for the late reply I have been on vacation.

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.

Well, I've got a nugget the size of Manhattan as well, the game keep on crashing to desktop whenever some action starts (mostly, but not exclusivly). It all happend after the arrival of the horde, as my game was running smoothly. I've tried reainstalling it and just reapplying the saved game, but no luck, it still crashes, I'm pretty much lost. One thing I noticed is that it doesn't crash after a certain number of minutes has passed, when it's paused, it's rock solid, it's only when I unpause it that it starts to bug out. I've tried turning everything off in the backgroud (I'm running it on bare bones as it is) and still it crashes at an alarming rate, it's quite frankly disheartening and irritating.

Any suggestions?

Let's keep seperat issues in seperate threads please.
I see you already have your own So I will reply to you there.

I can relate. Been on a vacation myself, so no sweat.

Anyway, did all the above - and granted it did improve somewhat, atleast for a while..

I tried to play after each 'change' in my config, and the renaming of the folder seems to have stabilized things quite a bit - atleast at first.. I'm totally at a loss as to what this can be..

Anyway - it keeps crashing, despite these things.
Again, I think this has to be a graphical problem of some sort, or perhaps a memory problem. My box is pretty new and shouldent have any problems running this sort of game, however...

NVIDIA GeForce4 Ti 4200 (I assume thats my graphics card, pretty much at a loss as to the technical stuff).

Anyway, as I've had these problems with EU2 as well - could it be some basic configuration in my puter? Or is the game engine just unstable?

Thanks for your help.

EU2 is rock solid now.

Please run a DirectX Diagnostic:
Start menu –Run - then type Dxdiag, then select each tab across the top of the window, and run the tests on each tab. Then select “Save All Information” button in the lower right of the window. This will bring up a dialog box to allow you to select a name for the file where the information will be saved. You can save it right on the desktop as this will make it easy to find. Then copy the contents of that file from the start to the heading that says “DirectX components” then paste what you have copied into a post in this thread.

Okay I see a few problems.
1) Looks like your windows needs updating. you do not even have service pack 1 installed. Go to thier site and download all the critical and reccomened updates.
2) Your video card driver is horribly out of date. Update that as well.
