Emperor, everything goes fine, until wants to actually play

[theonlyone]

Hi all, i hope you can help me with this, i am getting crazy of this problem.

Emperor battle for Dune, installes fine, with the patch from westwood, and the game loads great, i can customize and everthing, but when i for an example make a Skirmish game or a capaign game or tutorial, then i get to the load screen, and it loads pretty well until about 2/3 is loaded, and it quits to desktop.

Tried almost everything.

Windows XP Pro

Norton Antivirus 2003

And dont say it is only Norton Antivirus, because i dont believe that it should be my downfall :) Directx 9b, works and is installed perfectly. what goes wrong?

Hope someone can help

Thanks

.....I'd guess again if I where you. . ;)

or just try to uninstall it and Emperor just to make shure .. .

Then try looking at this thread. Try the solution in there and see if it works for you.

I have almost any post regards Emperor in 100 diffrent forums, but without luck.

But when that said, i cannot believe that there arnt a person who would go, hey this problem i will solve, and made a patch, there must be one, something which makes Nav 2003 and Emperor run side by side. And the westwood thing didnt do it...

or any other patch i have found.

Other thing i think is strange is that my game almost loads..what is it that goes wrong just as it should show my base ? Menu, and everything else works?

Crashing at that stage of loading is normally associated with a graphical error. Can you post your DXDiag?

But did EBFD run without NAV 2003 ?

Hi

I have attached the DxDiag.txt, hope you can find the problem there.

We can't troubleshoot if you don't answer what we asked...

Did I once read of a conflict between DirectX9 B and Emperor on WinXP? In any case, make sure your graphics drivers are up-to-date.

Am currently running DX9b and WinXP and EBFD fine for ages. So I would guess if there were problems, it would need more "ingredients"...
