Status: offline 		I purchased WitP last weekend and just finally got it to work yesterday afternoon. The problem for me was the game would freeze up or reboot my system when I entered a combat screen. At first I played with that screen turned off but then the game would still act up every once and a while.

I just assumed I had a sound problem because my speakers would go crazy when the game locked up. However after a few hours testing yesterday I found the problem was my graphics card. To make a long story short I finally got the game to work by going to the Troubleshoot Tab and moving the "Hardware acceleration" slider to "None". Now the game works fine. The card is a Radeon 9800XT. Has anyone else had to do this?

Status: offline 		Peever, I have a Sapphire 9800XT and have no such problems. I am using the reference drivers from ATI, and have the latest ones installed (along with the latest directX). I guess you werent overclocking or anything, as that can cause odd little problems?

Status: offline 		no problems here with a 9800XT but then again, I have a nice expensive ASUS P4C800-E motherboard. Most video problems tend to be the interface to the motherboard, not the card itself.

i wanted the i870er chipset... and payed for it...

oh, for the gameproblem, have a sapphire 9800pro @ XT, no problems with this.

I had, untill now just 3 crashes (the game reseted itself, but not the computer), very stable (and if you rethink that this is a changed own sceario, this is really a good sign !

Status: offline 		I get similar problem and the only way I can unfreeze my game during the combat phase is to ALT-TAB then go back to the game.

As for the system I got Radeon 9700pro and Abit TH7 II – RAID “Intel 850 chipset” (nice expensive board few years back), so I don’t agree 100% with Mr. Frag comment about the motherboard.

I can speculate that my problem could be a game problem and reason being is that my game only hangs/freezes when my air force executes a night attack and there are night fighters defending the target areas. If there are no night fighters then there is no problem.

ps: will try the hardware slider once I get a chance.
