video's

[willempie_1982]

I'm having a bit of probs with my video's, they are really choppy and my sound fails more than once.

I'm the proud owner of a : Amd 2400 XP+ 512 mb ram+ ati 9600 pro

can someone help me???

I'm sorry to say that, but I have the same problem. The Video Chops every 2 seconds and the sound fails for a sec..

I am searching for a solution, if I find one I'll inform you first

greetings UNI

i think it might be the cd protection that is causing most of the problems. it checks the cd every few minutes so sound is skipping and gfx problems arise.

[Chappy]

I think it's the Graphics Card,
it's already known that ATI cards give the problems,
all different kind of problems!
Hope they fix it in the next patch...

i have an nvidia gfx card and the game crashes alot for me. its when the sound skips and the cd is accessed that it crashes. i always save asap when i can tell the sound skipping just in case it does crash once again.

i hope its fixed soon as it seems a great game.

well i couldnt edit my msg above so i'll give u the exact error msg..."no surface detected". i did nothing special just play the game as normal and the game crashes to desktop after about 5 mins.

pc specs
Abit KX7-333R
1024MB pc2700
Geforce 4 Ti 4200 with 53.03 det drivers

ive had no other problems with games but this one.

i hope these problems get sorted soon as it is becoming a chore to play this game and i really love it too.

just got another error "version control conflict"

any ideas?

getting tired of all the errors and crashes. i'll play something else till a newer patch is released.

when the intro plays of jowood itself, they zoom out and then a comet passes by etc. , from when they zoom out my video already stutters, and my audio fail's when the sun is formed

@willempie_1982

I got the same problem on my PC.I`m playing on a Alienware Area 51 Extreme Laptop,

Intel P4/3.2 GHz
1024 Ram
Geforce Fx Go 5600 128 Mb

The Intro Video stutters,looks ugly und the sound stutters too.
After the game starts the screen is black but I can hear them talking in the tutorial.After I switched off everything that has to do with the graphics I could at least see the screen.Alllthough it`s
immpossible to play with these settings.
Does anybody know what to do about this.

I fixed this problem by selecting Enable Write combining inthe troubleshoot tab in my nvidia drivers.
The same time I reinstalled directx from the spellforce CD,
so I don't know what actually fixed the stuttering videos.

It's worth a try!

[[PHE] TUC]

We have had reports that active virus scanners were responsible for the video stutters.

[lamu]

I don't use (active) virus scan.
I don't think this is the problem, but could of course be one of many possibilities. I suspect a somewhat buggy directx installation.
