    Icon4 Unknown issue!!

    Hello!

    I just got the game and I've encountered a really nasty problem which occurs mostly in battles but it has also outside! The problem is that I get this really bad flicker (like sparkles) of colours for a few seconds, my game sound still works, but then my whole computer just freezes, black screen and my sound just keep to shutter. I reboot and start up game again as usual and it occours every time.

    Now my system is more than capable of handling the game, some specs:
    OS Vista 64-bit.
    4 gig DDR2 1100MHz
    9800GX2
    3.0GHz Duo.
    Mobo Formula Striker II with SupremeFX II onboard sound card which is pretty good for a integraded card.

    The first thing that came to mind when this problem occurred for the first time was to update my nVidia drivers, turns out I already had the newest! I'm not really that skilled with solving problems like this so I cry out for help here...

    One of the solutions is to go back to an earlier NVidia driver which seems to eliminate some of the issue. Some users are also reporting that Empire is overheating their cards. Make sure you have VSync as that helps. A slot fan might also be recommended. I noticed my graphics card cooled down a lot when I put one of them in and they are cheap.

    For I while I thought the vSync actually fixed it, I could play for like 20 min, but no... It came sneaking up on me again. I'm ganna try older drivers from february now and see if that works... Otherwise I guess I'll have to get some new hardware then, which kinda sucks.

    I tried the older drivers and for a good while I thought that solved my problem... I could play for a good 1½ hour before it occoured. If that was just luck, my GPU over-heating at the end I don't know... Well thanks for the tips, it just sucks I'll have to put the game on the shelf first day.

    same problem here. The game freezes completely and I have to restart.
    Have you found a solution yet?
