Have i just wasted £13???

[Hellmut]

Hi all,

Ok i went and bought the game.....guess what

1)Game loads

2)I select the resolution

3)Pick my scenario

4)Pick my team

5)Map loads

6)White boxes no text (no anti-aliasing + no anisotropic filtering)

Ok i think, i will have a look at another way of getting rid of that.

7) look around map

8) game freezes

9) No amount of alt-tab , ctrl+alt+del will get me out

10) BSOD

11) "Windows has recovered from a serious error"

ARGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Latest drivers etc.......no spyware etc.....all known fixes tried..............

No other game crashes, my computer runs like a dream.

Have i wasted my money??

Is my HD3850 pro dx10.1 card just too new for this game????

Running xp

Send an e-mail (perhaps with a copy of a jpeg showing the problem) to support@battlefront.com. That should get you a quicker response.

which game you're talking about might also prove useful

and to answer the subject line question: yes, if you bought CMSF or TOW you did indeed just waste your money

if on the other hand you're inquiring about CMBO, CMBB, or CMAK, then you need to invest the time to figure out how to make it run, it is absolutely worth the trouble of figuring out

Sorry easytarget, i meant CMBB so yes i am trying my hardest to figure it out.

Wibble!

There are a couple of interesting posts about Vista in the CMC threads. One person seemed to suggest that the compatibility issue arose from particular combinations of Vista, certain models of cards, and certain drivers. Perhaps when everyone gets past the teething stage these issues will be worked out? But it's not much fun if you own one of the combinations that doesn't work.
