World in Conflict doesn't work

samhain · 27 Jun 2009 at 20:07

Picture the scene;

New P5Q SE MB, Intel Q9550 CPU, ATI 4850 HD card, 4 GB of Kingstone DDR 2 800 Ram all new and a 64 bit Windows 7 all bought from OC

Firstly it takes an age to load it in, then it just doesn't work. Everything running at stock, the game just keeps crashing.

loaded in ati graphics driver latest version

Any ideas?

it's clearly the game you're system looks to be running flawlessly

That was my first thought before i decided to be rude

When you say it doesn't work, what exactly happens ?

everything loads in correctly, then when I select the training mission to start off with, then the system crashes after about 15 seconds. Mostly black screen occasionally lots of different colours, switches off and back on.

The slightly worrying thing I have is the mb. I bought the SE which is the cheapest version of the lot and boy it shows. The CD that comes with the mb works in vista 64 but fails to even load up the menu in Win 7. All of the other Asus bits and pieces of software also fail to load under Win 7.

Having looked at the Asus site, other P5Q mb's, their more expensive models all have beta Windows 7 software, but because I have, probably the least seller, nothing exists so I have very little confidence in the mb/Win 7 combination.

In saying that in Device Driver, there are no errors showing up in Win 7 either, so perhaps I am worrying over nothing.

and you have tested several other games and have zero problems ?
narrow it down a little by testing

updates all your drivers

If you find it's crashing on other games, try running the game in a Windows XP environment

I had the exact same problem with it.

I rolled back the ATI Drivers to a previous build and it worked but cannot for the life in me remember which ones they were and I do not have the game anymore.

I had the same issue. It was the ATI drivers. 9.6 worked for me.

Wait, Windows7 came out already? Here I was thinking it was a beta :confused:
