Windows 7 Crashes with 2020 Gold

Post by USAF RET »

Not sure if this is a game or windows 7 issue. Doesn't happen often but it can get annoying. In the middle of doing something like moving troops around etc.. the screen will go blank but I could still hear battles going on. To get out of that I hit the windows key and that brings me back to desktop. I then click on the game icon and the game resumes where it left off. Anyone else experiencing this with vista or windows 7?

Do you play it as administrator? I haven't tried it that way maybe it will make the difference.

Hi guys

I have Windows Vista and the game periodically crashes. Its getting really annoying as I have to save the game every 5 minutes!

Its strange because this never used to happen before and only started in recent weeks after I downloaded version 6.6.2 for my SR2020 GC (which was a digital download). Any suggestions as to how this can be rectified?

Have you checked your drivers? Have you checked what other software is running?

Sorry Balthagor. You're talking to a complete computer illiterate here. How do I check my drivers?

Do you have anyone you can ask to help you with this? We do tech support for the game, not people's computers ;)

One of the other users here might be able to help...

Without anyone else reporting something like this it sounds related to the computer, not the game.

Just do a direct x command ,dxdiag,and put up the first section.

Go to start,run,than type in dxdiag and run the tests.That will give you system and driver info.
