Video Problems

[Thungur]

First, Hello all

I have installed Medieval Total War 2 and i have serious problems with my Video Card that i dont know why they are happening.

The Game crash in strat map, and when i manage to get out it gives to me a Video Card error. It happens more on mods, but also in vanilla versions.

I have a dual ATI 2.6 processor, 2Gb RAM, and and ATI-Radheon 4670 Video Card, with Windows XP64. It is more than enough for the specified requirements, what may be happening? the card can be damaged? real requirements are higher?.

More, the battles are run quite smooth, even smoother than those of RTW. That´s why i´m confused.

Thanks

Your graphics card is higher enough to run this game and if this is happening in this game only then your card is also fine.
Make sure you update your DX9.0c drivers on your Windows XP-64bit.

Run Microsoft Update manually and install all software options.

Be sure your drivers are for XP 64bit. May try updating them from www.amd.com.

FYI, XP 64bit is infamous for being buggy.

Thaks both, i will try the updates. I fount that not even the Dx 9.0 was installed. Btw, the X 10 is not compatible with XP, rigth?
