+Gepard Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 My old graphic card is gone over the jordan. So i got a new one. Its a Radeon HD4650. With this card my EAW does not work anymore. Has someone an idea, how to fix it? Quote
Chamo Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 Hi, Try compatibility modes. Some things don't work with new hardware/software. Also try updating the card's drivers. The ones provided with it are normally obsolete. Quote
DoctorQuest Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 Check out the EAW forum on SIMHQ. There have been massive updates to the game that include fixes for a variety of video card issues. Quote
Pobs Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 (edited) Hi Gepard, which version of EAW are you flying mate ?.... generally the latest 1.28E exe works quite well with most cards but we also use brothersoft's 'd3dwindower' program to fly with cards that give problems, it is a great little program that lets you fly in a windowed mode that seems to resolve a lot of graphics card issues. Get it here : http://www.brothersoft.com/d3dwindower-238977.html if you choose that route check out SimHQ and search for 'd3dwindower' for setting it up. cheers, Pobs Edited March 24, 2011 by Pobs Quote
+Gepard Posted March 27, 2011 Author Posted March 27, 2011 I use EAW 1.28E. The intro comes perfect, but if the real game want to start i get a strange green screen and the game hangs up itself. Quote
Pobs Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 It does sound like a video driver problem, try that windower program, it works pretty well with these type of problems. cheers, Pobs Quote
+Gepard Posted April 25, 2011 Author Posted April 25, 2011 I'm to stupid to get it running. Thats sad. EAW is my big old love. Quote
Pobs Posted May 12, 2011 Posted May 12, 2011 Gepard, Try playing iwth the Anti aliasing and anisotropic filtering values, EAW does not control these so if they are set to 'software controlled' in your setup they arent being used. I know that changing these from 8xS and 8x repsectively on my Geforce card causes all sorts of weird stuff graphically ingame. You might try asking over at simHQ we have people playing with most types of cards now... cheers, Pobs Quote
+Gepard Posted October 14, 2011 Author Posted October 14, 2011 After hundrets of attempts i got EAW to showing up. I made it with d3dwindower, but also without it. I got the mainscreen, was able to see the videos and the plane discriptions, the mission selection screen and the options screen, but when i tried to fly a mission i got CTD. Quote

Have you tried a glide-wrapper, such as Zeckensachs and run it in glide? Perhaps you could try the EAW section at SimHQ, where they are very knowledgeable and helpful. Quote
Pobs Posted October 20, 2011 Posted October 20, 2011 Hi Gep, OK we are getting somewhere at least :) at what stage in the flight selection process do you get the ctd ? one common problem is 'impossible' saved missions using impossible combinations of targets, planes and homebases from one scenario to another, this will screw up the start of the mission, try going into the savegame folder and delete any missions to let it use the defaults, that may help. cheers, Pobs Quote
Jel Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 I just contacted Gepard and a new monitor fixed the problem. We have no idea why or how. Jel Quote
+russouk2004 Posted August 3, 2013 Posted August 3, 2013 Might be old monitor didnt support res of his card ? Quote
