Hi,

I didn't find any similar problem in this forum so here it goes :

When I try to launch EE1, the splash screen appears and the game instantly crashes, leaving with the Win7 message saying that the application crashed.

My system :
Windows 7 64bit
AMD Radeon HD4850
DirectX11
AMD Athlon64 X2 3Ghz (not sure about the frequency)

I didn't find where the configuration files are, so I haven't tried to tweak the game settings yet, but if anyone has a clue, I'm very interested :)

Hi,

Yep, but we haven't found what the problem is yet.

Solutions tested :

- Every compatibility mode
- Run as Administrator (mixed with each compatibility mode
- Install Specific DirectX version (June 2010 release)
- Updated graphics drivers
- Reinstalled the game (and retried above-mentionned solutions)

Here's what the detailled error message says :

I get the same issue - and I have a very similar setup.

I get to the mission start. After I click begin it crashes. Win 7 64.

[edit] I was able to get it to work by setting compatibility to 98/Me. I'm assuming it's the lowered resolution. Going to try some others.

[edit2] It also works in XP SP3 if I set the resolution for 1920x1200 instead of 2560 x 1600. I suspect that it will probably work with no compatibility at all if you set it to a lower resolution. I'm too lazy though :)

I don't think EE supports higher resolutions then 1920x1200. Assuming you downloaded gog.com's version, you might want to take a look at this. http://www.save-ee.com/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=3066

I'm having the same issue - tried launching after dumbing down my resolution to 1024 x 768, and win 98/me and 2k mode... still crashes after the splash.

Same Issue, I've sent into Support a good few hours ago, still noo reply...
Expansion also screwed, says i need a sound card but i obviously already have one!?!?!

Enough said.

Hi lightnessking,

Thanks for your reply, I've actually been to save-ee.com. (before this forum incidentally)
Unfortunately i couldn't really find much about it there either, similar post, similar suggestions yet no real fix.
so far ive reinstalled several times, tried all compatibility's, ran as admin, renamed the movie documents, checked all drivers are updated!
I've tried downloading all of the direct x redist packs back to direct x 9.
I've also looked into runtime enviroment troubleshooting, nothing productive as of yet.
So please if anyone knows a fix any input would also be appreciated.

If you can't find a simulair topic don't wait and start your own! Admins/moderators/users with knowledge will reply asap.

I have a similar problem. however, both EE and AoC worked before i did two things, set AA in Catalyst to "use application settings" and changed mouse pointer in setpoint to "no accel".

then AoC stopped working, which makes me think the problem lies with the AA utilization/implementation ingame.
