Hi all.

Here is my problem.

I can play the game for a while with no problems.
Then the games gets a bit slow then about a minute later the background dissapears.
The only thing that I can see is the units, everything else is a blue color (no buildings, no scene and no enemy) I also at this point have no control over anything.

I ran the memtest98 for 24 hours to complete 100 tests with no failures.

The semi crash screenshot posted in "showthread.php?t=63533" is similiar to my problem, but my whole screen turns to that solid color.

Basic sys info
OS : Win 2k3 server (Fully patched)
RAM: 1024MB

20:45:05.57 Error: D3DERR_OUTOFVIDEOMEMORY
Desc: Out of video memory
Code: 380, Facility: 2166, Severity: 1
Call: [m_pD3DDevice->DrawPrimitive( tblPrimType[pPass->type], pPass->vStart, pPass->primCount )]

even on low graphics this is happening.

The game did crash and pop up the bug report software which tried to mail 04beta[AT]dawnofwargame[DOT]com, but this address does not exist


Hi. This is the qmail-send program at thq2[DOT]vpi[DOT]net.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.

04beta[AT]dawnofwargame[DOT]com:
Sorry, no mailbox here by that name. vpopmail (#5.1.1)


Other info.

I have a Nvidia GeForce 6800GT (256MB) - Driver 8.1.9.8 (10/12/2005)

Oh it happens with DoW and winter assult.

I do recall reading somewhere about other drivers that could be used but can not remember ...

Anything else you need let me know.

I have attached 3 * warning.log and the bugreport.zip file

Thx
zentoid

Oh and I have run the memtest proggie for 24 hours, giving me 100 tests passed and no failures.

I'm not even sure that the game should work properly on your OS - win 2k3 server isnt specified on the system requirements and I've never encountered anyone else using that OS trying to play DOW.

Why do you have an OS for a server installed on your gaming machine anyway?

Hi there.

Because I am a developer and develop for the 2k3 OS I use it cause it is the best way to develop for it.

all my other games like quake4 homeworld 1&2 warcraft 1,2&3 etc work fine

Well, as I have no way of testing DoW on 2k3 server edition I recommend that you contact official THQ tech support (details are in the manual) - they will at least be able to tell you whether the game should be working.
