Hi folks,

just tried EU on a Toshiba Satellite Notebokk. It runs NT 4, SP 5, Direct X 7. PIII 500 with 128 MB RAM.

The game installs properly, the patch (1.07) the same). When I start the game everything seems fine first - the videos get displayed as they should.

But after that - in a screen telling me that something is initializing, a green bar is moving forward - the game suudenly crahes and sends me back to the Desktop.

Does anyone have an idea how I may get the game going? I have another game (AoW) installed that needs Direct X and this one runs smoothly.

Thanks for any help

Thorsten
 
I believe that SP6 is needed in order for EU to run.

I dont have NT and have even less idea what SP6 (or even 5) is but am sure it is needed. :)

Click to expand...

1) Get patch 1.10, the latest
2) As Uglyduck said, latest Service pack for NT.
3) Try the latest video and sound drivers if they are available.
4) Get direct X 8.0 (not sure if it's 8.0 or 8.1, but the latest version)
 
Thnaks for the hints first folks.

SP6a applied. Latest sound- and video-drivers as well. Same as before. A hint may be that a glimpse at the init before crahing indicates that the Audio-Driver may be the problem.

Is that solved by the "No sound" start option with EU 1.10? To be more precise - does the ns option prevent the initialization attempt for the audio driver? If not it won´t help much, I fear. Otherwise I will try with the 1.10 patch.

Regards

Thanks to all, especially the people with helpful hints from this and other threads and the programmers of EU:

Applying patch 1.10 seems to work wonders regarding the audio problems. EU runs now without problems.

Skipped the Tutorial yesterday and went into my first game :).
