General Confusion Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 I just got a Dell XPS 420. Quad Core, 3GB RAM, Nvidia 8800GT graphics card, 22 inch monitor. Vista Premium. I saved up for a year to pay for this. Afrika Korps graphics are a bust. Will TOW run on this box? I'd love to buy it, but I just don't have time to spend tinkering and digging through trouble shooting guides. One reason I bought this box was to play your games. Please tell me I'm not going to get burned, and that if something doesn't work, I can return it. thanks. GC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlapHappy Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 I have the Quad-Core chip as well..... If you disable the other cores, you shouldn't have any problems running the game, although there are a couple of video card settings to keep an eye on. If you have trouble, I will help you. One thing, there is apparently some problems with Vista and the map editor....has that been resolved? Anyone? I have Windows XP..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reichenberg Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 IIRC it is only with Vista 64. Vista 32 Home Premium works perfect for me. Uwe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Confusion Posted December 25, 2007 Author Share Posted December 25, 2007 Thanks for the quick reply. Lots of my stuff is done. I'm going to see if there's a demo before pulling the trigger. Off topic, any ideas how to get Afrika Korps to work? It seems like it is based on the same engine right? I've tried all the tips so far. The issues are with things like smoke, text like place names, and boundry edges. They vibrate, or make trails when the map scrolls. I have it set to XP mode, no anti aliasing, etc. My Nvidia driver is the latest, DirectX 10 is fine. I'm not going to put older drivers or older directx on this box. I'm not smart enough to fix what I'll break Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reichenberg Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 ToW is not using the engine of Akrika Korps. Its engine is the one from Il2 Sturmovik. But as you have said it already - try the demo and you will see if the game is something for you.... It should be something for your pc, at least performance wise.
