hi, i just got a new pc and then i installed Rome. tried a custom battle, all was well until it froze then screen went black the Rome did its loading thingy on the botom and came back again. it keeps doing that. i tried my PC with mount and blade and it did the same thing but after changing the res to 1280 1024 it fixed it.
i then tried with tome and still freezing. can the res freeze games? can i pc be to new for rome total war?

Windows 7
8gb of ram
amd readeon 6670 1gb
1.5tb of storage

please help

I have said that until I saw Brusilov's specs and Axalon's card.
Have you activated your copy of Win 7 and install ed all software options? It can always be something in there from a new computer.
The game code was written when 1280 x 1024 and 1024 x 768 ruled 1920 x 1080 was only a dream.

I play R:TW mods at 2560x1600 without a problem.....

I've replaced my pair of GTX295s (one was getting a red warning light after a number of hours play of any game and despite having the dust blown out (small amount) and being re-seated still did so) with a EVGA GTX 670 FTW and it runs fine.
