I'm also having the same problem and I have
a ATI 9600...updated driver, changed DEP
chose loww settings, no shadows,
the game does not go past the hourglass and icon
I don't even get a black screen....
I tried to download demo without antivirus/firewall
and the demo does not load no EAX turned off
high details in the sky and on the land...I'm ranting I downloaded directx 9.0C....
turned off all running programs to start demo.
I played Ubisoft Faces of War on this computer which requires minimum settings like ToW recommending higher end Ram and CPU...The game played but crashed very often however...
I promised myself to buy a higher end machine
I think Wolfseven is right on the money about his
statement up here in the forum
hang tight

Hi Moon...
I thought I give this another try..I've unlicensed
the game and removed it from my computer.
I closed virus/firewall and downloaded a fresh
copy of the ToW Demo...loaded OK
loaded the Codec
set Game Configuration Menu to low for everything
unticked:
Enable EAX
High landscape detail
High Sky detail
video mode set as 1024x768x60Hz (default)
I downloaded a fresh copy od DirectX9.0C April/10
Went into DEP and changed it as x your suggestion
in this forum.
THE DEMO DOES NOT START
I get the hourglass followed by Icon and I don't
leave deskstop...the program closes...
Is it the game or the eLicense? was a question
I think Madmatt put to us by trying to download
and Run the Demo...maybe I'm lagging behind
did I miss a step in the Start Up procedure?
thanks for any help you can send
I have
genuine WinXP Home Edition 2002 SP2
Radeon9600 ATI 128Mg graphic card
Itel® Pentium 4 CPU 2.66Ghz
1 GB of Ram

Regarding 1 and 2, you might need to download this codec:
http://www.battlefront.com/products/tow/codec/wmv9VCMsetup.exe
No idea about 3. It should autodetect your screen settings I believe.
Martin
open this codec in windows sys32 or in ToW game
folder...a little behind the times for me sorry..
Thanks

Update:
to Madmatt....2nd download worked good with
no problems set game configuration to 1024x768
low res for everything..no shadows
I shut down all running programs including antivirus firewall ect
and.....game crashes back to deskstop!!
According to ToW I have min spec on my computer.
Standing by
I believe the same will happen with the CD which
will arrive in Canada in 3 weeks according to
Battlefront...I will keep coming to the forum
to keep looking for a solution.
I know you guys are working hard on this problem
and I appreciate it
thanks

Hi Madmatt..

If this game plays as good as it looks I'm
giving up .....what else...ah drinking!

Hi Madmatt
specs
Microsoft Win XP Home vers. 2002(original, not a clone)
Service Pack2
Intel®
Pentium®4 CPU 2.66Ghz
1.00GB ram
ATI video card Radeon9600 128MB
which I refreshed and upgraded.
I'm downloading the demo and I'll see if I can
get it to work.
I downloaded the program from the e-mail from
Battlefront and download came without any problems,
same with the eLicense...The game does not
start even after tweeking down all graphics in
the ToW Configuration.
One thing is odd.... I don't have a folder in 'Control Panel'for the eLicence which I saw somewhere in this forum...
the ToW Editor works.....
lots of fun !!!

Hello Moon
I also tried the DEP fix and I did not get
anywhere...I don't have an eLicense folder
in my Control Panel (winXP Service Pack 2)???
Mission Editor works !!
Thanks

Hi there:
It sounds like the problem I'm having too.
I did get the eLicense window and entered my
license code and it was accepted...however
having done that when I tried to get the game to
START I got a new pointer a crash to black screen
back to deskstop under a different setting (unable to detect setting parameters)and back to my default
setting deskstop screen 1024x768 (recommended by
ToW)..the Editor howeverlaunches...!! so it can't
be a eLicense problem or can it?
While looking through other fellain out there who
seem to have problems gettting the game to go
I noticed I don't have any eLicense folder !!??
can't unistall or am I missing something?
-
Thanks for the response..
as kindly suggested I
set all ToW graphics to minimum
left shadows:self shading, grass detail: normal
screen resolution is default at 1024x768 color 32bpp
sane result: I can't get past the icon mouse pointer
changing shape and color.
I changed the name of the file 'title.avi' to some
other name with the same .avi extension
no difference.
I got creative and changed the screen resolution
to 1024x768x70hz and to every other possible position up to 75hz in the option window
no difference
Also tried the other settings: not one makes a
difference...keep crashing back to desktop
I turned off every program running in the background and unplugged internet + security system
no difference...
I did not mention this before
I have Win XP Home with Service Pack2
I bought the download and physical version package
I'll uninstall the game when I get the CD to see
if there is any difference...although I never
got any error messages while downloading the elicence or unpacking the download..

after registering the e licence
and upgrading video card (radeon 9600 128meg )
(I have a 2.66GHZ CPU and 1000 meg of RAM)
when I click to launch the game I get something...
my cursor changes to a brass cursor
and then....puff its gone replaced by deskstop
I realize I'm just on the minimum spec requirements
I feel the game should launch and then slow down
while playing....but at least launch.
I run winXP
Battle for Moscow
in Theatre of War

Thanks Battlefront!
