New video card?

[DimondLight]

I tried to play M2 today and wanted to start a campaign, but on the loading screen the bar finished but then it got all glitchy and went to this screen.


I have a GeForce FX 5900XT, it's pretty old but it got the job done before, and all my setting were on low. I'm pretty sure it's updated also.

Every once in a while a game will glitch up. Did you try loading it again?

[DimondLight]

Yeah, it started yesterday, and I've tried probably 5 or 6 times. It happens with Rome too.

[Snipafist]

Weird. In that case, I'd try (re)installing the newest video driver and see if that helps. If not, then it looks like it's time for you to go shopping...

[DimondLight]

No good. I'm gonna have to buy a new card. Anybody got any recommendations?

[Snipafist]

The GeForce 6600 is the new minimum for just about any game. If you're running on a budget, that's what I'd aim for. If you've got more disposable income, the higher the GeForce number the better. I haven't had good experiences with ATI cards.

It's a driver problem, use drive cleaner pro to unintsall them properly instead of a soft uninstall via the CC. Then re-install the latest drivers that were working for you... problem solved.

Oh and if you do get a new video card, send the old one my way

If you have PCI express and want a really durable card with a huge fan that keeps it cooler than Gforce cards this is the one I recommend especially if you do more than gaming on your PC. I have problems with Gforce I experience issues with rendering in certain 3D software applications. ATI never let me down working in high end software.

ATI 100-437808 Radeon X1650PRO 512MB 128-bit GDDR2 PCI Express x16 Video Card you can find this for around 150.00 US. If you have not got a PCI Express slot check some of the other line of ATI cards you can usually score APG now a days for 50.00 or 60.00 bucks with 512 memory.

Good Luck
