Hi Everyone,

Just needed to post a followup question from my various posts and thought it would be good to make a new thread. After sorting out the issues with the rocket launches in the 43 German campaigns, and switching over to DirectX, I'm having more stability in campaign mode overall but I'm still getting pretty frequent crashes. I'm wondering if there are any other changes I can make to help stabilize the game, or if this just a part of EAW - and old games will be old games. I'm getting CTD issues in both a fairly stock 1.2 GOG version (with Max188 terrain, special effects, and sounds) and the OAW 1.28 GOG version that I'm running as a separate install.

Here are my system specs:
Alienware Aurora R12
Windows 11
Intel i9 11900KF
32GB RAM
nVidia GeForce RTX 3080

Cheers guys!

Try this one

1.26E Installation

I need to use the d3dWindower in Win 7 to avoid the 7217, but it may well run in your Win 11.

It was the hacked 1.2 we used to use before we got the source code. If I recall correctly it did not have the 7217 CTD with a 16 bit card, but it may not cope with my 32 bit card.

Edit:
It ran well in Win 10 with no 7217 problem. I started a 1944 RAF career
