Messed up frame-rates/graphics problems

TGHoplite · Apr 17, 2008

Hi. This is the first Paradox game I have purchased, but I have some experience playing Europa III at my friends house and messing around with the demo. It would be an understatement to say I love that game, so keep up the good work.

When I start the game everything seems fine. I click the nation I am trying to play and click start. It loads and everything looks normal... normal if it were a screenshot. It seems glitchy, the water effects, flags and movement of the armies best show this. The water will, for example, move very slowly and un-smoothly, stop for a moment, and then continue. When I try the pan the camera it moves stops, and then I'm way over on the other side of the map. I had these same problems when attempting to run the demo for EUIII, except then after I loaded I could resign and then start the game again and everything worked fine. Not so on Rome... so I can't find a way to circumvent the problem.

My machine is running on Vista 32-Bit with a GeForce 8800 Gt card, I can run pretty much anything on the market at high settings. I have DX10 and I downloaded DX9 and installed it as noted on the forum but have yet to restart as I am not sure DX needs to be finished by restarting (I wanted to make this post before I did too). I have also updated to the patch too.

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: I've reset, and to no avail. Help!
EDIT2: I also noticed I have no music... this is quite unplayable

Have you applied the 1.1 patch yet?

Yes. It said something out read-only files but I told it to continue anyway. Could that make it fail to patch?

Not if you told it to overwrite the files. Did try the suggestions in the sticky in this subforum?

Yes. I've also recently updated to SP1 for Vista. No luck.

Perhaps its not running on Dx9? Does it automaticly choose DX9 if I have that one installed or do I have to select it somehow?

If DX9 is not installed the game will not run at all. But there are issues with different versions of Dx 9.0c, amazingly MS have several versions with the same version number.

The one on the ROME CD is good, or in the sticky thread above titled " Any Crash, read this first!".

I have installed the one with the CD. And the time before before I reinstalled (so that I could install DX9 with it) it ran the same way and did the same thing. It's not a crash so much as it is chugging graphics.

Please post the settings.txt and system.log files. Also run DXDIAG, Save All Info, and post as much of that file as fits in one post here.

Thank you guys so much for the effort - my problem seems pretty unquie.

AndrewT · Apr 20, 2008

Well all I can see there is the refresh rate in settings.txt, 0 is obviously wrong. Try editing it to 60.

You could also try adding a new line in there after "renderTrees=no":
simpleWater=yes

TGHoplite · Apr 20, 2008

Didn't do anything. I don't think my problems are with the graphics detail... I have a 8800 after all. My guess is it lies somewhere within Vista or some GateWay drivers or something. Would there be non-automatic updates from gateway I cold be missing?
Also, when I checked settings.txt after I exited the game to make sure I put everything in correctly, "simpleWater=yes" was no longer there. I put it back, made sure it was there, ran the game again and like before it disappeared.

AndrewT · Apr 21, 2008

I did check the nVidia site and you seem to have the latest, although I am puzzled there are no newer ones since Dec last year, that's a long time for Vista drivers to go unrevised. It does very much seem like a video driver or video card problem. Maybe it's worth asking Gateway if they have newer drivers than nVidia themselves do ...

TGHoplite · Apr 21, 2008

I checked gateway's site for drivers and they have some BIOS and/or Motherboard drivers from January and some nVidia drivers from July last year (also some Intel card updates as of a month or two ago, but this computer didn't even come with an intel card).

I don't see it as being any of that, but maybe those BIOS updates (which date from Jan.) wouldn't hurt :/
I know some basic stuff about computers - more than average anyway, but I don't know if that would help/hurt. My computer model is supported anyway.
I won't be back until around 4EST, thanks again for you help.

TGHoplite · Apr 25, 2008

Well I guess I should see if EB will take it back.
Thanks for the support though, I appreciate it.

AndrewT · Apr 26, 2008

Have you tried everything in the sticky CRASH thread? Running in windowed mode, running as admin user, running it in XP compatibility mode, etc?

TGHoplite · Apr 26, 2008

Yeah.

TGHoplite · May 29, 2008

There's been a new patch and recent Nvida driver updates, neither fixed it.

AndrewT · May 30, 2008

OK, can we see your new settings.txt, system.log and dxdiag.txt files please?
