Can run EAW1,28e without problems in d3d and glide (zeckensacks glide wrapper) in 1024x768(EAW.ini).


In d3d i get ugly terrain shimmering, in glide with 4 x anisotropy filtering its gone(Glidewrapper setting), with 16 x anisotropy filtering its a dream.

Hello,

Pentium 2.8GHz Dual Core
4GB RAM
Windows XP Pro SP3

ATI 9600 256MB RAM
Driver: 8.442 (12/04/2007)

Glide Wrapper installed
Windower installed but not needed to run EAW 1.28e

No horizon fog in DirectX, but available in glide mode.

S!

What about ATI Radoen 6400. Would it work!

Recently I tested this configuration and it worked OK in D3D mode, without Glide Wrapper, using MrJelly's 1.28E

HP Pavilion dv6 laptop (15.6)
AMD A-33000M APU Dual-Core
AMD Radeon HD 6750M 1GB - 1366x768 screen
using the weak Windows 7 Home Basic 64-bit sp.1

I think the game will work well, with all ATI 6xxx series, only with the usual map & menu screens problems.

ATI cards normaly dont show menue problems with EAW1.28e. Nvidea cards are the main trouble maker.

"ATI cards normaly dont show menue problems with EAW1.28e"

Nope, the ATI 6xxx series show.

this video board has a strong distortion on map, when player is dealing with the "set-up mission." It is very difficult
change the mission parameters as; new target or new home base. In the "Briefing screen" on campaign mode It's the same
thing, but the game still playable.

There is also a distortion in the hangar screens, generating psychedelic colors, time to time.
The other menu screens options work properly at an acceptable level.

My new PC in France has an ATI card, and suffers from the map screen problem too. However, it does not occur when I use the d3d windower.
On all my computers the psychedelic color problem is invariably fixed by going into multiplayer, selecting tcp/ip and then cancel when the IP address entry box appears.

The map problem i dont consider as Menue problem. The Map problem is similar but the cause is somewhat different to the normal menue problem.

People with the menu problem have trouble to reach the single mission menu, the multiplayer menu and so the map at all.

Of course the map problem is ugly as well.

I have a few PC's that run EAW but the main 2 are:

1st: Windows XP "Home Edition", Pent.4 3.06 GHz, 2GB memory, Geforce Ti4600 4.3.4.5 driver (with max's fix), Sound Blaster Audigy

This pc with max's fix works great for EAW...this one I still use for all EAW v1.2 such things...v1.28e works well with this one...just slower than my newer one.


2nd: Dual Boot...

Windows XP "Pro Edition", AMD Phenom X4 3.2 GHz, 3GB memory, AMD Radeon HD6950(2GB)Catalyst 11.2 driver, Sound Blaster Audigy

This XP pc works best with v1.28e...map issue with v1.2, I just get the small color blending (ATI) problem but it's no big deal...Had onboard sound at 1st and had issues. Got a cheap soundblaster audigy and fixed that issue...I use this one the most for all EAW stuff.

Windows 7 32 Bit "Pro Edition" AMD Phenom X4 3.2 GHz, 3GB memory, AMD Radeon HD6950(2GB)Catalyst 11.2 driver, Sound Blaster Audigy

The Windows 7 side of this PC works for EAW v1.28e...but with very choppy mouse during screens (in game EAW ran great)....I found that D3D windower fixed the the choppy mouse during screens but EAW (in game) ran choppy. So I just setup with D3D windower...and exit and just get through choppy mouse screen enough to run game (and runs great). This side also has the ATI color blending issue.

I use the XP side for EAW more...nGlide works well for all 3 of these setups...just with the limits of Glide...I like those 512x512 terrain tiles now.

Hi MrJelly

I know about the D3D Windower, Just testing video cards without it.

I have a desktop with an AMD Radeon HD 6870 using D3D Windower, no problems with the map and other screens.I was hoping that the ATIs 6xxx series under 6800 could run the game without windower, but this didn't happen.

Following sagginb's list, some others mine:

Two desktops that I have or had EAW: An old AMD 64 with Gainward GeForce 6800 Golden Sample, Ultra 128MB + windows XP-Pro 32 bits SP.3. KV8-pro. This configuration work's as a charm; the only thing necessary is the Max's registry fix.last year, also tested in this configuration above, an XFX GeForce 6800 XT, it work well only with MrJelly's 1.28E otherwise, the usual 7217 error that everybody know.

last is an Core i7-2600k, windows7 ultimate 64 bits sp.2, Asus Maximus IV Extreme-Z with an EVGA GTX 580 3GB. Well, here the gates of hell are opened for EAW and D3D windower don't work with it.
