I’ve started playing this game, but have hit some hardware or software issues. I keep getting system crashes, and Windows crash reporter isn’t much help.
I think it’s my graphics driver, and I’m downloading an update. In the meantime it seems to have killed my Direct X installation too, so I’ve updated that. Since I installed, I haven’t been able to run WoW either, so I hope that’s just a temporary thing since the last crash, not a fuckup of the Direct X installation.
Update: It gets better. Checkout this error when I try to run AOE III demo:
Apparently, my GeForce has no memory.
Hmm. I did manage to play for about 2.5 hours after this before a crash, so I’m not quite so sure what’s going on.
9 hours, 37 minutes after the fact.
The AoE error is funny, unfortunate, but pretty funny.
I think I get the same crash on MIITW, do the units flicker in and out before everything breaks and you reboot? Most crashes I’ve heard of go to the desktop, but mines restarts eevvverything. Updating my driver didn’t do jack, neither did patching the game. A full reformat still didn’t do the trick…
