AOE3 slight prob

I got Age of Empires 3, and I can turn all detail settings to max.... except particle detail.

particle detail only goes to medium for some reason. I want in on MAX!!!!

The desktop i play AOE3 on specs are:

3ghz P4
1GB Ram
XFX Geforce 6600 GT 256mb AGP 8X

my pc is two years old but had a graphics card upgrade (was originally geforce 5600.)


I don't understand why particle detail won't go max. If I can play doom3 and Bf2 on max settings, why wont AOE do it?? even my old 5600 played BF2 on max texture detail settings

 

This is the exact same reply I got from the Age of Empires 3 technical support forum - nothing...

Don't worry I'll figure it out myself

 

I don't think we have a lot of members playing that game...sorry, I haven't played that franchise since Rise of Nations.

 

Have you attempted to update to the latest video drivers?

 

Stanche??
I play AoE3 on mine laptop and everything on max.
You play it on a desktop so you must play it even better.
Like Chaz says do you have the latest video driver?
And do you have the latest DirectX installled?
Witch program are also running on the background that consumes systemresources?

 

i think the it has somthing to do with shader model 3

 

Umm...you gave them 24 hours before you quit...sometimes it takes longer for a response on a forum like this.

I don't have any problems running it on my laptop, with an x700. How much time did you give the AOE3 support forum? I'd keep checking back there.

 

yes everything is up to date

and also I gave up coz ppl kept posting and this thread reached the bottom with no replies....

Also I gave the AOE3 forum about 1 month...........

 

How high do you have youre resolution?
Maybe 1 step back and everything is fine.

 

I have my resolution sometimes at 1024x760 or 1280x1024.

Makes no difference what resolution i have it on
