utexgrad88 Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Happens to me as well with an ATI 4870X2. Sometimes it will let me in the game and start a battle, but the video corruption is horrible. Pixels full of weird colors and black lines all over the ground. I've tried setting all the anti-aliasing and anisotropic to app settings, clocking back the vid card, etc. and nothing seems to work. If anyone has solved this problem I would be happy to know how you did it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

utexgrad88 Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Looks like I have an answer to my own (and hopefully yours, Hawk) problem regarding the crashes and the video issues. I played around with all the video settings in the Catalyst Control Center and the one that immediately caused issues was setting the Catalyst AI to Advanced. Leaving it set at Standard caused no problems. Nothing helps the poor frame rate, however. Running an ATI 4870X2, even in a non-overclocked state, should give me more than 14-18 FPS. And that FPS is BEFORE the battle even starts. It will get as low as 6 FPS in spots when a battle is joined. Hopefully TOW2 will have much better video card optimization. And hopefully my fix will be your fix as well, Hawk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
