for minimum requirements, although I think they are kinda too low.

Although I remember Gunwounds made a thread outlining what the recommended requirements are to play the game smoothly.

... my problem is that it wont work on 2k... is that true or is there something else i dont know... is it the fact that me hard disk is ntfs??? would it work if i had fat32 i wonder...

[Andrew]

Nope, it can work on a ntfs hard disk. as new computers can play it.

Just takes troubleshooting to get emperor to work sometimes.

What problems are you having?

[drahgoon]

i start it and it says GAME.exe has caused errors and will be close by windows or something to that extent... my sys specs are as follows...

AMD Athalon 1700+

256 MB RAM

3 + 10 GB HDD

NVidia GeForce 2 W/64 MB

Win 2K SP4 + last update 2 weeks ago

EDIT:

1024X768 right now nyways... can go into the 1200 series though... theres like three values that start with 1200...

[Andrew]

No need to PM that information :)

I know little about getting emperor to work, as I do/have not played it.

[drahgoon]

... can you recomend someone who does/has emp???

Have you used the install patch to install the game ?

Try searching the tech support as it seems to possibly be one of the more usual problems. Would need more info which we wil get as we troubleshoot.

I would post links but am at work with managers hanging around  ;)  ;)

[drahgoon]

where can i get the patch...

[Andrew]

come on people i need help with this...

[erjin999]

Hmmm, is that your whole DXDIag ? There seems to be some bits missing, especially hardware related stuff. The mobo hardware is what I was looking for and missed.

Try installing DX9.

What version of the game are you running. I think the version on the CD is 1.04, and the last version was 1.09. The patch is here on Dune2k.com under the URL http://dune2k.com/?page=files-emperor&show=patches. Just choose your language version.

What processes do you have running ? Can you attach your .nfo file please ? It will give some more info about your computer, including what processes are running. to do this, go to:

Start Menu.

Run.

Enter in the command field msinfo32exe

Save the file and attach to a post. You will need to rename it as Fed2k doesnt allow the .nfo extension. Just rename it to .txt or something.

Thanks.
