PygmyShrew Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Try rolling back to some older drivers, see what happens then, also, disconnect from the internet (safety reasons) and disable any antivirus software that may be running (make sure to re-enable when your done) a graphics card/drivers wouldnt usually stop a game from loading :/ there could be something else, hard to tell though.

killerluk Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 try using your original drivers also make sure to check you have the latest version of directx you can also try changing your hardware acceleration slider of your graphic card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alll Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 some of my demo shots, as u can see perfectly fine with demo... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popcorn2008 Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Try running Empire at War in safe mode. You can do this by going to start -> all programs -> lucas arts -> empire at war -> play empire at war (safe mode). This will reset all graphic changes to their original settings. It's worth a shot. If that doesn't work then check your demo graphics options and then compare them to the real versions options. See if there are any differences there. If so, then change them and see what happens. Also try re-installing as an installation error may have occured. Hope that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

popcorn2008 Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 This problem seems to be semi-wide spread. Alll can you list your computer specs here, including Processor, Graphics Card and amount of Ram. Thanks and I'll see if I can help. Also is your graphics card PCI or AGP? Or maybe PCI-e?

popcorn2008 Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 It looks fine to me... its odd that it is doing this. Go to Yoda's Help Desk and pick Empire at War and then your platform. Then in the links to the left push email customer support and inform them of your problem. Also go through there FAQ and see if your problem is listed, though in my skim reading I didnt see it. Hope that helps, their customer support is some what slow but they'll be able to help better than I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gswift Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 This is just a wild guess, so it probably won't work, but it's worth a try: -Try changing your windows resolution, refresh rate, and color depth. Try a few different combinations of settings. -Make sure you're not running any pop-up blockers, or video capture/ disk imaging softawre. It doesn't like Nero, for example. (you've probably already tried that one) However, you could go into XP process manager and start shutting processes down one at a time, to see if any of the automatic processes are interfering rather than an application.

Guest DarthMaulUK Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Lets work through this. Ok, firstly, did any of you have the original demo installed? If so, remove it completely - including any mods. Second, make sure that your direct x9c is up to date (August 05 version) - you can get this from your CD. Third. Once you have done all this, uninstall the game - remove all folders, then re-install. It might also be worth doing a defrag before reinstalling the game (can take a long time depending on your PC) DMUK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djsven Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Nothing help!Thanks. I played the demo very well! Why not the full verion? ARR! I have the new directX9c installed. The same. What can i do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DarthMaulUK Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 I will pass this on to Petroglyph as it might be a known problem and something getting fixed in the new patch....stay tuned. DMUK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
