Sorry to break into this thread, but I figured maybe I can try to help - I also have a GTX770, and although I don't own CW2 yet, other AGEOD games work fine for me (although occasionally RUS might crash if I keep playing too long in one session, e.g. maybe 15 turns or more, which can be easily circ...

Oh and I just wanted to say, though I'll do more research first to make sure it's unlikely to crash on my system, the help you've given makes me more than willing to try any new games you guys put out. You've been great.

Yeah, I see it. Much obliged to you.

It's partially based on trust and the knowledge the game is not playable by you. Unless you are Machiavel reborn, the chance that you pretend the game is not playable just to lead me proposing you a refund is rather slim I would say. Plus, more practically, we will ban your serial key so you can't ...

Right now, there is no option to unlock the frame rate, sorry. As for your new crash, that's the same problem alas, the game engine fails to get from DirectX a textured graphic, so when it asks for infos, they are not there. I'm sorry to say I see no solution right now, obviously the driver is not ...

Hi again, Here are the two things Matrix Helpdesk could think about. These solutions are probably harmless and worth the try in my humble opinion: 1. Reinstall DirectX. Download it from Microsoft: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8109 Run and extract it to a folder of your ch...

Actually Pride of Nations is a special case, it don't run with the same 'DirectX wrapper' than the others AGE game. His map caching is more sophisticated also. I'm contacting the Matrix Helpdesk. These people have seen a wide range of problems from many more players than me, perhaps they can help h...

Update: I just got a new error. Maybe this'll help?

It says, "DirectX to Renderer Invalid Call (Burst Mode) [ Prep'ing Slave 03379Region.bmp ]"

Here's the log:

Alright. It seems to happen less often with lowered texture size. Have you seen what the map looks like when you do that, though? There aren't even "low-res" placeholders, just holes. (And it doesn't even get rid of some of the same images that caused crashes, like the birds and sheep.) I loaded Pri...

Sorry, I meant 'to the leftmost', i.e lowest settings. I know it sounds weird given the quality of your PC but your video card drivers seems to reject anything above 1024 pixels for older DirectX (9 or under) so I'm really stuck here. I will refrain from suggesting you try an older driver and not t...

It would mean that any image of 1024 or higher pixels in width or height can cause a crash, despite what your video card should handle. I fear we are in one of these (somehow rare) problem of powerful video cards with drivers who don't provide a 100% support for DirectX9 or lower operations. Try in...

seems quite powerful enough and maximum texture size is 16384x16384, so ample enough to load these graphics. Lets to a try, please go to <your install path>\CW2\Graphics\Anims\ Cut & paste the Animals folder elsewhere but not in the game (or it can find them somehow). Like for example in a temporar...

I've got a gtx770 w/ 4 Gigs vram.

Loading up the game again, I got another crash, this time "error loading texture whitebirds" and apparently others, since after hitting ok on that error, several other windows flashed briefly as the game was closing. Why is the game failing to load textures?

Hi. Just bought the game. I had the first tutorial open and was scrolling around the map checking things out when an error popped up (something about 2sheep.png) and the game closed. I've uploaded the log files (attempted to, anyway. This forum has an odd system for attachments) [ATTACH]27203[/ATTAC...
