I just updated my drivers for my GTX 280 graphics card and now Empire total War wont displayy cities or towns in the campaign map on either multiplayer or single player. Did a search online and found others were having similar issues but no known fixes. Mainly reporting it and hoping it gets fixed soon or if anyone could help me out thx! Stuck at medium graphics in Empire Total War I need help because this is bullshit, I'm stuck at medium, I feel the computer maybe using the integrated graphics instead of the 770M, I tried the whole NVIDIA control panel, but nothing is working. Aug 10, 2009 When I go to graphics options I'm only allowed to set graphics to 'low' and 'medium', not 'high' and 'ultra'. How can I set graphic levels to above 'medium'? I have a new quad-core computer with almost 4000 RAM and a good graphics card.
| Topic Subject: | Can I change graphic setting outside the game |
| posted 09-02-07 01:46 AM EDT (US) I have come across a very strange issue. I just installed aoe3 on my laptop understand that it can't handle aoe3 at it's full glory. When I loaded it up the in game graphics were all jumbled up but the menus still worked. So I played around with the setting untill it finaly looked proper. My issue is the shader setting. When set to low it works well, if set to high the graphics are jumbled and nothing looks as it should be. The problem is when it's set to medium the game kicks me out. My issue in discovering that setting it to medium will get me kicked out of the game, I no longer am able to change it back to low cause the game crashes every time I get to the menu screen. Is there anyway of reseting defaults outside of game play? I just want to set my shader to low but It won't let me do it. Help | |

NOTE: Make a backup of your NewProfile.xml file in case im wrong and it messes it up even more Disclaimer: i cannot guarantee this will work, its only my best guess, the file i've pointed you at is the correct one to edit though.
