Units non-existant

[RO Citizen]

Every time I get in-battle, GC or custom, there are no men. There are hats, muskets, horses, guns, etc., but there are no bodies. Neither at me nor at the enemy.

Any sollution to get rid of the ghost armies? (

PS: I have an Ati Radeon 9550SE with latest drivers (I think, because when i first installed the game it didn't work at all, and now after I installed this driver it does, even perfect in GC)

yes buy a new card, your card is 6 years old

Very helpful, thx.

ETW runs perfect, I can't get why this shouldn't...

[karamazovmm]

this is rendering issues, I'm actually surprised that your card works. I'm sorry that I can't be more helpful than this

[Choki]

RO Citizen To me happens the same. I have all in high but I have a video card of 256 MB, this is the problem, in a future patch sure fix this! I hope

Mr MM This is no wey to help, "I'm actually surprised that your card works" WTF. Leave he alone, Noall the people can have good pc`s

If it's AGP nad 125mb VRAM, he may play on low settings. There are newer AGP cards but you pay dearly for them. The feeling I get from .com and those trying to play battles on a AGP card of that age is almost impossible.

If you disagree with me, post your dxdiag. We'll have a see.

choki, its a six years old card, I care very much about my pcs, and there is so few that work after that time, specially gpus, since they generate a lot of heat, and back them they were not so good dissipating it, my cousin with a geforce 6XXX had to leave his case always open so that it wouldn't shut down.

Try rolling back your drivers.

[RO Citizen]

Try rolling back your drivers.

Then the game won't work at all Atlest it works perfect in GC

Choki, I have a 256MB one, too. Maybe that's the prob...Hopefully they'll fix this in patch 1.1

Irishron, I can play on medium settings (although I tried on low and same thing in battle).

As the others have said, you really do need a better graphics card. Other then that, make sure to keep your drivers up to date, make sure all background/image heavy applications are closed and run your game on the lowest possible settings.

If I were you, I would look at who you are telling how to help before you do so. Mr MM has a vast amount of technical knowledge and has posted in at least 75% of the technical threads in NTW and ETW. By saying what he did he was simply expressing a well known fact that older drivers do not work as well, he was not insinuating that the OP'er had a bad PC. Plus irishron, another well known and experienced tech helper agreed with his advice.

In fact, I would go as far as to say that his advice and this comment was more useful that your advice. But that is my opinion.

Then play on the Grand Campaign and autoresolve battles and enjoy yourself until you can afford to upgrade.

Exactly what I'm gonna do. I'm hopefully gonna upgrad soon, too. (and yep I do have a stinking comp atm)

Thx, Mr MM, Irishron and all others.

PS: Atleast naval battles are perfect. Maybe it's because of so many faces in land battles...

[Slevin7]

well i think this answers my question too i kinda new i had a sucky graphics card but i would like to know what is the best cheapest card but i am thinking of just buying a alienware laptop later on should i just do that and dose alienware run prefect with this game. and i don't know how to update my graphics card.

[karamazovmm]

slevin7 we can help you out, see the troubleshoot thread on how to post a dxdiag, and I really don't recommend alienware, so overpriced

[irishron]

Alienware has also been known for heat problems in the past.

[karamazovmm]

and low quality build
-keyboard issues
-heat management
-hinges breaking

[irishron]

Everything is overclocked and this game hates overclocking.

[Slevin7]

wow i would think it was the best thanks for telling me that.
