Well, still AMD Athlon 2600+
ASUS A7N8X Deluxe
GeForce4 Ti4200
512 Ram
Windows 2000.

Works pretty good now, but does crash to desktop fairly frequently. My earlier problems were my own stupidity in that I'd fubared my video driver.

Quick Battle- random lockups, freezes, etc. Been playing in 16 bit color and with some audio codecs turned off. I was unable to play more than 30 mins but this seemed ot work and now I can sometimes play an entire game. However, I still frequently get freezes and lockups but at least the game will now actually play over 30 mins.

I am unable to do anything about CTW. Crashes when it load it. I get no error message.

Buggiest game I've played in two years and coming from a Microsoft game, which is supposed to be so software/hardware friendly, thats pathetic.

Athlon xp 1800+ @ 2000+, 512 mb ram and geforce 3

No problem at all. Had to switch off the refresh tool to avoid a black screen.

Initially I was able to play the tutorials but crashed to desktop with no errors or exceptions on the Quick Learn after 5-15 minutes of play.

I updated my vid driver with the latest from NVIDIA and I have not crashed to desktop since. I am running driver version 4.4.0.3. Only playing solo...no CTW yet. My frame rates are fine and the game plays smooth but I have not had any really large battles. I have other bug problems but I'll post em elsewhere.

Win2K pro SP3 with most hot patches
AMD XP 1800
512 Meg
30 Gig Maxtor
NVIDIA Geforce4 MX 440 128DDR AGP 8X running at 4X
Crappy Chaintec MB with VIA chipset / on board sound

I would also note that I used to crash to desktop on BF1942 when I only had 256 Meg and my AGP buffer was set to 128. When I changed this to 64 ....no more crashes....Upgraded mem to 512 Meg and changed AGP buffer setting to 128....no crashes. Don't know if this applies here but the rule of thumb is that your AGP buffer setting should be no more than half your memory....and in some cases, like BF1942....it was still too high.

[checkMate]

NVIDIA GeForce 256 AGP
RAM 128MGB
Pentium 2
Windows 98

Gives me a dialog box saying Driver is not recommended.

The game startup movie and initial menus work fine.
As soon as it loads the tutorial the screen goes to
gibberish and I have to use the three finger salute.

I could not find how to get a driver directly from NVIDIA, but I got one from dell. No joy.

Anybody see/fix this?

[COSIAN]

For checkmate

Here is a link for nvidia drivers. But looking at your config, you may have other probs. 128 Meg is pretty skinny. You could also check your AGP aperture size in BIOS. Rule of thumb is half available mem, but I have found that in some games, and depending on what you have running on your box, half does not work. I had to cut it down to less than half until I increased main memory on my box.

Thanks very much Cosian , downloading the driver alone was able to get me running. Got through a few tutorials now.

THANKS!!

AMD 2100+, 256mb DDR ram (pc2700)*2 (512mb total), Asus Geforce4 ti4400.

Game freezes/restarts the computer after 0-15 minutes, i have played one quick battle without any problems, but thats just one time, tried multiplayer like 5-10 times, always hangs, tried quick battle, always hangs (except that once)

I have a USB headset frpm Logitech, and a Lotigech mouse (Mx500) and when not using the USB headset(which has a built-in soundcard) im using the AC97 built into my MSI motherboard, then it crashes/hangs after 2 secs into the game (after starting/joining a game, single or multiplayer doesnt matter). With the USB headset i can play atleast 5 mins, then it hangs/reboots automaticly... I have clocked the CPU a little bit (maybe 1%) and the Gf4ti4400 is clocked like 4% or something, so that shouldnt be the problem, i can play any other game, these problems are ONLY in Rise of Nations...

Nvidia GeForce 3 (driver: 4.4.0.3)
SoundBlaster Live! Value (driver: 5.1.2603.0)

Windows XP Professional
Version 5.1.2600 Service Pack 1 Build 2600
AMD Athlon ~1324 Mhz
RAM 384 MB
Page File Space 1.40 GB
directX 9.0a

Unpatched, I have no problems. The game, films and saved games all run fine.

The patched version is a different story. When I load a saved game, I will see strange whited-out areas around the elevations. When I unpause the game and try to move around the map, the game will instantly crash to desktop.

same problem as i got then... and we got the same CPU and same amount of memory :P but that cant be it? just a little question, what mouse do you all got? i got a USB mouse from logitech (mx500) and i also use a Headset from logitech (USB)... And its the same problem for me

[Bob508627]

My graphics are seruosly meessed up (even though i do have a 16 mb video card and al the other sys requirements). Villagers, generals and supply vagons never change thorugh the ages, and all of my villagers look exactly the same. The zooming scale is awfully unclear, i cant zoom in very well, to see anyhting. Worst of all all the units of the game are very small, unclear and 2 dimensional. I do not know whats happening please tell me how to fix it.
