Can't run the game....

Hello all! I always get a black screen and then the game drops me to desktop!

Please help!

Try to mail Aaron directly and sent him an error report with some details about your hardware.

Same problem here...

I use Win98SE with a Voodoo3 3000 (16MB) and DX8.1, 512MB ram...

The same problem (black rolling lines and then crash to desktop) happened with the game Disciples 2. The developers released a patch that fixed it.

Since i never had problems with other new games i guess that it's a problem with the way that the game handles DX api calls...

Does anyone know if it is a problem with older video cards? Anyone else running the game with a Voodoo card?

Thanks for helping me with this.

I am running it on a machine with a Voodoo2 card, works fine. (The Demo at least, I'll get the full game by the end of the month, when I've got money

)

The demo runs but the screen flickers badly! The full game arrived and it crashes when the first screen appears!

I have DX8.1 and i am using DX8.1 compliant drivers. WarcraftIII [heavy on 3d graphics] and Medieval [also 3d] - both new games - work without any problem!

Is it possible for another part to cause this problem? [SCSI card, SB Live sound card, e.t.c]
