Yup. My PC has NO problems with Skyrim. I do not play Crisis but, I am sure my rig can handle it just fine. I've been getting this now too. Mid game-ish. (Industrial for me anyways. Ren for them ;)) I have used a house fan on my opened case and that helped some. Shutting off my PC for...

Thank you... Hmm...I did not realize that XP will not let you go farther then DX9. :sad:

When I first installed this game it gave me a choice for either DX10-11 or DX9. Now I get no choice. It only loads in DX9. I reinstalled it all and tried to load it from the folder for DX11 but it keeps telling me to reinstall it because it is not there. Weird! I am running a Q6600...

OR...At the very least: They could be added to a group. A Convoy with Naval Units (Destroyers & Subs mostly because the Battleships are way to SLOW) and you can set Zig-Zag Patterns. That to me would be more realistic. Great Generals especially need some kind of protection. For a Trireme to...

Good question... I could ONLY heal an Air Unit with a promotion so far... :confused:

I am playing on the near impossible CRASH Level! :mad:

I just want this new version TO WORK! I like some of the new aspects of the game. (Hexes, Single Unit per tiles, etc) However, I cannot play the game I am use to. That is a Epic Game on a Huge Map! I do not care if my game takes two weeks to finish. It is about the journey to me... I been...

Mine plays the single player fine...except I cannot Alt-Tab out without crashing it. I have trouble with multi-player as well. I do not think it is my card though...just a game that has not been coded well. My card is a ATI X800XL PCIe 256Mb.

I have to give the nod to Havoc on this one. Trust me I know how much Russian history he has studied over many years. How? I sired him...

The Creation of the Universe.... And my son's Laptop is doing that too. It is a Toshiba Satellite 2435-S255 2.4Ghz with a GeForce 4 to Go 420 32Mg vid card. We upgraded his ram to 1Gb(max). updated the BIOs, chipset,sound, video drivers(many different ones) Still it stops at that...

Well it is too early to tell for me. Since the game worked for the most part in single player for me. I need to see how it works in multi-payer which is where it was freezing up. I could not update the game IN the game. That would freeze up my system. I downloaded the patch online and...

I wish I got something....my system just sits there. Same screen as the update one. Nothing changes when I click update....the CD starts to spin...then quits...I let it sit there for 30mins then had to hard boot out again...enough of that.

My system locks up after I click on updates within the game. My CD drive stops spinning...can't atl-tab...or ctl-alt-del out either.

What I do with my video cards is that I leave the PCI slot closest to the vid card slot open...and also take out the slot cover on the back. Others have suggested this trick as well....hope that helps some.

Yeah...what he said!
