Apparently they will be implementing an OpenAL to EAX conversion layer in the final release of the driver.Īny help, comments etc greatly appreciated. The other thing to note about this game is that Creative's drivers for X-Fi (released in Dec 06) are a great improvement but provide no support as yet for EAX games in Vista. Given Johnathonm's got a ATI card and is getting the same results as me with an Nvidia card, I assume this is a Vista issue. Not sure if its wise - will a directx 9 install play havoc with the DX10 install or some other part of Vista's subsystem? I havn't tried Paul's suggestion of loading the direct x 9.0c drivers which came on the game disk yet. I now have the latest RTM drivers (I'm running the RTM 圆4 build of Vista) but I get the same result. My specs are a bit different from Johnathonm's I have a:Īt first I though perhaps the reason for the corruption which renders the game quite unplayable was due to Nvidia's beta drivers.

The game loads but there is heavy on screen corruption. The same error popped up and I worked around it by copying the file (from my xp install) into Vista's \Windows\System directory.

I have tried setting the app to run in compatibility mode (xp > launch the game I get the error "This application has failed to start > I'm trying to run Medieval 2 total war on my Vista 64 box. Doesn't vista contain Direct X 10? I thought this would supply DXįunctionality.
