Bugs in older version (2.3.1) / Re: Win7 64-bit, 2.3.1: Crash on Mission Startup in Fullscreen-Mode

« on: January 15, 2011, 02:21:09 pm »

yeah, the moment I change something in Video Options the game crashes at mission startup. Eg. I activate Vertex Buffer (for more performance supposedly) and the game QTD. I activate Weather effects and the game QTD. All in windowed mode, because full-screen doesn't work.
Ah, and I upgraded my AMD drivers already, as I stated in the initial posting. Not that it matters a lot, but I was curious to see those weather effects and improve performance a little bit..

Bugs in older version (2.3.1) / Win7 64-bit, 2.3.1: Crash on Mission Startup in Fullscreen-Mode

« on: January 09, 2011, 02:29:01 pm »

Hello Folks,

i got this machine on which I installed 2.3.1 yesterday.
So far I am impressed with the progress made since a much older version. Congrats!

there is reproducible bug though:
my screen is 16:9 - as standard ratio is nowadays - so the standard window of the game is cut off at the bottom. No thing, I just click full-screen in the video options menu, the game kinda restarts and I can edit my base, scroll around the world-view etc.
Until I click on "mission" (doesn't matter which one) everything's working fine. I click on mission, the mission is loading but a second after I get on the 3D-screen the game quits to desktop.

I'll update my Catalyst drivers to 10.12, I'll try playing in non-full-screen mode. maybe that helps me in short term.
just wanted to let you know about this crashes. is there anything you need from me? certain files etc?

So I've downloaded drivers for Windows Vista Enterprise Edition.

The game is perfect

Where did you catch those drivers?
on AMD site I can only find the vista32/vista64 drivers. No Enterprise Edition whatsoever.
I use 8.2 Catalyst and have AERO de-activated
