Ok ive finally managed to track down a copy of this game with the knights of the nine expansion pack, after losing my original copy a couple of years ago.
ive currently got it installed on a windows 7 64bit ultimate system.
its running on an AMD Phenom II x4 940 with 4Gb ram and 3 8800GT's
normally i run F@H exclusivley on this system but have switched off one of the gpu clients as well as the smp client to run the game.
the monitor im using is an acer al2202w which outputs at 1680x1050.
Now onto my problem
When installing the game the main disc installed without any problems, however on installing the Knights of the nine it advised installing a game patch first.
So on trying to do this i get an error old file not found however a file of a similar name was found but not updated.
So i went on to install all the downloaded content including Knights of the nine which appeared to go fine.
I then looked online and found another patch for the game which was newer than the one on the Knights of the nine disc which i then tried to install.
Again i got the same error mesage unable to install patch due to the old file not being found and a simlar file which did not match.
Now when it comes to running the game it does its usual testing hardware, finds my video card 8800GT but sets the game to medium settings.
i up this to match my monitor res and run the game.The game runs fine but the graphics dont appear as crisp as they should when i ran it with my old 7900GTX on a windows xp/vista system.
Most of the world seems fine except the grass area's and the grounds when in an oblivion gate, ive treid using both bloom and hdr lighting as well as running just at my chosen res.
ive even tried differrent levels of anti alaising but none seem to work
the only other thing ive not tried yet is enabling Physics x on the gpu im using rather than having run by the cpu.
So im looking to see if anyone here has had similar issues running this game on windows 7 or with an 8800GT card and how they solved it. Or would i be better to try running the game on my xp system which currently houses
AMD Phenom II X6 1090T, 8800 GTS 512Mb and 9800 GX2
