    Hey Guys

    I used to play this on my Alienware m17 with no issues now i have moved to Clevo and appear to have no end of driver issues with it

    Biggest problem i have is one of 2 things,

    1) flashing trees/bugs on the campaign map regardless of resolution

    2) crashing when loading a save game.

    I have tried numerous drivers and about the only one that appears to work is the 182.50 which is ancient and dramtically reduces performance in other games so i am loathed to use it as it makes things like Dawn of War 2 and Red Alert 3 sluggish.

    Anyone else experiance these issues? if so what did you do to resolve them?

    Any thoughts/feedback is gratefully received

    Pman

    Well, Empire Total War has a ton of problem unpatched so patch it up if you haven't done so Alvarado. Other than that, it still has some bugs so yeah......you might be able to get more help from the total war gaming forums like twcenter

    I have it patched to the latest...auto update through steam, when i was googling for info it seems as though there are some conflicts with empire and the GTX2##m series cards but i was hoping that the latest nvidia drivers had addressed the issue....seems not to be the case.
