Ok Matt will try turning off shadows.Although loading times are very long(this is only for training missions too,haven't tried regular missions)I have found the sim runs quite well on my minumum system so far. I still haven't found out how to really move the camera around so I can see any detail though.I'm trying to read the manual at the same time. I wish it was still winter here so I could spend more time with it,although here in New England sometimes it seems more like winter anyway. If I can run TOW then there should be more of you out there who can run it too,so keep at it. Thanks again to Maddmatt and all the others who are helping us!

I am just running default settings on the 9800 Pro.It still crashes after a half hour,but at least it works for a few minutes.

I can say that the ATI 9800 Pro does run TOW with the latest drivers. This is the system I have and it runs TOW quite well: 2.8 Ghz with 1 GB of RAM,ATI 9800 Pro video card,and Turtle Beach Santa Cruz audio card.

Lets just rephrase that.Many people are trying to play it.

2.8 Ghz with 1 GB of RAM SP1,ATI 9800 Pro Video card,Turtle Beach Santa Cruz audio card. Training loads,but then locks up computer giving me an error code with my video card on startup.

Yep it may be 4 years old,but it still runs everything else I have.That and that it meets the minumum and still does not run TOW.Thats why I asked If the requirements should have ben higher.Looks like a great sim,but right now for me and others its nothing more than vaporware.

Not being able to run TOW at all has definatly not helped at all,but I have seen so many issues with others here I wonder IF the requirements should have been higher. As stated I have a 2.8Ghz with1 GB of RAM,9800 Pro visdeo card and A Turtle Beach santa Cruz audio card. I have sent an email to battlefront,so we'll see what happens. To invest that much money on something ,though and it may or may not ever run is sad to say the least.

Ok so far I've heard that you need at least a 9600 as a minumum.I have a ATI 9800 PRO and I'm using these drivers 6.14.10.6343. Could someone whose using a 9800 Pro please let me know:First can you get the game to run,and second IF your using a 9800 PRO ,What drivers are you using? Right now theres no way I can afford a new computer,and everything else I have runs pretty well. So can a 2.8Ghz with 1GB of RAM and a ATI 9800 Video card with a Turtle Beach Santa Cruz sound card run Theater of War? If you did update your drivers,did you clear out all the old drivers or install over the top of your old ones? Also did you upload the whole suite or just the display drivers? Thanks and hope I can get this running.

I have been waiting for this sim and I finally have it,but it won't run.My system is a 2.8 Ghz with 1 GB RAM,ATI 9800 pro,and a Turtle beach Santa Cruz audio card. The game seems to want to run at 1024x768 at 60hz,but when set to that res all I get is a small window of the game running in the left hand upper corner of the monitor. To get a full screen I have to run at 1100x 852 at 100hz. However here id the real problem.I have only tried to run the training and I get to the point where the traing mode bar is loading,but as soon as it gets to the end the bar is full but nothing happens at all and the hard drive light just flickers and I can't get out of the game.When I do boot back up I get a message that i'm having a problem with my ATI 9800 video card.. I have this version of drivers for the card.. 6.14.10.6343. First That problem with running at 1024x768x60 needs to be fixed as that is the resolution of my desktop except I run at 32 bit not 16. I have tried going into the video portion of the user info and setting the resolution to 1024x768x85,but that didn't help.It seems to run everything fine except the actual game portion. I did see this runs in OpenGL and nothing else I have runs in that. I know I probably need to update my video drivers,but is there anything else I should try first? I really want to run this and after buying Silent Hunter 4,this is the second sim I've gotten in the past few weeks that runs badly. Let me know what I should do next. Thanks!
