Hi Guys.

It might be a good idea for everyone to post your system specs, and how you get EAW to run on your rig.

I recon this info would be of great help to all Newbies, as they could check this thread, for a similar rig to their's, and read what solution worked for each different machine.

Here is my rig specs:

System:
Dell Dimension 5000
Processor 3.0GHz Pentium 4
3Gig RAM
ATI Radeon X1050 128MB

Win XP Pro SP3
Driver Packaging Version 8.593.100-100210a-095952E-ATI
Catalyst™ Version 10.2
DX9.0c

EAW 1.28e runs with:
D3D
Normal mode 1280x1024. 24bit colour, 512x512 graphics, No Windower

Glide
With Zeckensacks Glide Wrapper, 8bit colour, 256x256 graphics.

I run EAW in d3d using 24bit Multi-Skin Squadrons at 40-60plus FPS and test 8-bit using Zacks Glide wrapper
(it doesn't run as fast for me that way. But, still works very quickly).

OS : XP-SP3-Pro
Chip : celeron 2.1GHz
Memory : 2.00Gb RAM
Vid card : Nvidia 7600GS 256Mb
Driver set : 6.14.11.6375

I use the d3d mode and the D3D-windower which allows me to fly anything from 1.2 to 1.28E. Without the windower I can't fly 1.2 at all and get messed up half screen maps with the 1.28 series but can fly other than that.


cheers,


Pobs

HP Pavillion dv6500 laptop.
Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit Service pack 2.
GeForce 8400M GS video 128 MB.

HP external monitor 1920*1080 max.
This card/driver combination does not give horizon fog so I use the nGlide Glidewrapper and never run in d3d unless testing exes.
Normally I set the resolution to 1280*960 and effectively run in a 4:3 window.

Install 1.28E (XP/Vista/Win7) and fly online or off with it.
