People,

OK, this really sucks, I've waited for this game for 9 months, and now: the friggin' game freezes on me!!!

This is what happenes, I start up the game, intro runs etc. everything is OK, bla bla, some stuff loads, I select single player and I try to run a scenario. This is where the sh#t hits the fan, when I play the Irish tutorial, everything works until I try to recruit an army, at which point the screen freezes and my system locks up. When I try to play the grand campaign, I just get the starting screen and then everything locks up.

I bought the game in Holland and it was version 1.07b, I thought maybe that would be the problem, but when I upgraded to 1.08, the problem was still there!

My system is a 366 Mhz with 64Mb memory (this might be the problem), and I have DirectX v8.0

Help me Patric-Wan-Kenobi, you my only hope

Hell, that happened to me too. i had to actually go and buy a new video card(as it was determined my card was only DirectX 6.0 upgradeable(?) so i had to buy one that was DorectX 7.0 applicable. um, not sure, but my version is the NA version, so there are probably reams of differences, but maybe it is the card? my old one was only a 2mb piece o crap, got me a fine ol 8 mb one now. also, i added extra RAM , now i got me 128. i get a problem with sound, but i hope to hell that it ain't game ruining(i never have the sound on anyways). i would suggest calling the support guys, they really helped me out a lot. hope it works, as i just upgraded my piece o crap computer(a celeron 300, so damn old compaq dont make em anymore) just for this game(sad thing was it worked for a 4 hour period, then exactly as you explained, the tutorial would freeze on OK for the armies. and the campaign(hell any campaign didna work, just froze):confused:
i really do hope it all works out, as this game looks to be one excellent game.
good luck
 
Thanks, this is EXACTLY what happens to me, except for the sound, which seem sto be running fine for me. Honourable Shogun, did you upgrade your Video Card and your memory at the same time or not? if so, I would like to know what EXACTLY caused the game to work like it should.
 
yup, i did. i upgraded both of them at the same time, seems to work now(except for the crashes to desktop, but thats another story all together.
hope this helps some.
