Not just NVidia but it happens on my ATI Radeon x1300 as well. I can't 'roll back' as I've just bought it.


Problem: When trying to set the firing range using the keyboard shortcut (Y key), the game freezes and I have to kill it using task manager. This happens when using the newest NVidia drivers.

Solution: Rollback to an earlier driver. For this particular gamer, rolling back to version 44.03 solved the problem.

Chris H,

This is a known problem due to your video driver.  I run an ATI Radeon 9700 and if I use the latest driver then my 'Y' key freezes my SPWAW game and I have to cntl+alt+delete out of the game.  So I re-installed my old driver (like 3 or 4 years old) and I no longer have a 'Y' key problem.

The bad news is that if you use an old driver to play SPWAW, then the old driver might not be usable with newer games.  It's a sucky trade off.  New games need new drivers.  You have a decision to make.  I chose SPWAW over newer games requiring a new driver.  But it's your call on your PC.

Thank you, thank you. This post was incredibly timely. I almost was going to get rid of my older computer where I have SPWaW installed, until I caught this thread. Rolling back to an older driver on my new computer isn't something I can do, given the newer games I'm running.

If you don't want to roll back use the Unit data screen to change range, slower but it does work.

The HQ tent screen also works well.
