View Full Version : Graphic Problems With Soulstorm

Well, I've been experiencing some trouble with Soulstorm's graphics... stuff I've never had trouble with in DoW, Winter Assault, or Dark Crusade... namely, the opening cinematic. It gets really choppy at times, so bad that the dialogue doesn't sync properly. There's a similar problem with the campaign map. The sound for the menu will play a full fifteen to twenty seconds before the screen has even loaded. Am I the only one experiencing this? It's a little troubling, because this laptop I'm using has 1024 MB of DDR2 SDRAM, and I haven't had trouble like this with more graphics-intense games than Dawn of War.

I've tried a number of things, including defragging, cleaning the disc, and running on low graphics settings, but the problem remains the same. There's a bit of choppiness at the main menu screen too, where the animations of the hero displayed look a little strained.

In-game it isn't really noticeable (aside from long load times, which it seems everyone suffers from) but this has been really bugging me nevertheless.

Do you have the latests graphic drives for your card. Have you checked any of your other games since this started happening. IE is your Hard Drive Failing?

Hmm I dont have trouble with the opening cinematic but I do experience long loading times when I start campaign or say just defeat an opponent and it goes to the screen where it tells you if you have new wargear (kinda bad explination). Mostly things to do with campaign menus.

I do have the latest drivers installed, LordZon. I always like to keep things up-to-date. And no, I'm not having any such trouble with any other games.

The most anoyng problem for me is the low-res looking textures on high res settings. It's stupid. This never happened in the previous games. And it's most obvious on the SoB buildings especialy on the HQ.
