Error

Hello, I'm having trouble playing my MTW, well, I played once in another computer, and the game worked well, only this one, the game will not start! The following happens: I go into any battle, the field is flashing continuously and I can not change my view. Inside the file "error" is written as follows:

C: \ MedAddOn \ Crusaders_TW \ main3d_1.cpp (7050): DirectX call: E_FAIL (GENERIC)
C: \ MedAddOn \ Crusaders_TW \ main3d_1.cpp (1929): DirectX call: DDERR_SURFACELOST
C: \ MedAddOn \ Crusaders_TW \ BatleMap.cpp (646): DirectX call: DDERR_SURFACELOST

C: \ MedAddOn \ Crusaders_TW \ frontend_base.cpp (1949): DirectX call: E_INVALIDARG (INVALIDPARAMS)

Does anyone have any idea what the problem is this happening?

It's because of your video card. MTW won't handle anything over GeForce 8, that's why the highest video card available that works smooth with MTW is 7900GTX (I have 7900GS).

Hope it helps

My problem is not with these two buttons. Everything works on my MTW, Menu, Campaign, not only does the battle.

It's still the video card, it's too high end for MTW's code to handle properly. Tinker with the game resolution in the menu, see how it works.

Now another problem appeared. My MTW does not recognize any resolution of my monitor. Only recognizes 800 x 600.

Video card again. As I said before, it's too high class

Perhaps take another computer with lower capability hardware and play there?

As "Basileos Leandros I" said, you will not be able to run the game on that card. There is simply no fix for this at all. As far as i know it only affects the 8xxx and 9xxx series, later cards are ok.

Your solution is to either give up, or install it on another PC.

The 800x600 resolution problem is likely because you're running Vista/7?

There is a workaround but it won't help you as you'll never get battles working properly with that graphics card. For anyone else with this problem: http://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showth...=1#post2487503
