Graphics problem with 1.09e

[monsieurdl]

Currently I am running a 2GHz/1GB RAM/Vista system.

I started playing AACW by using the original files, and everything was great. However, when I applied the 1.09e patch, I experienced distorted region graphics (little bits of the terrain graphics repeating itself in a couple of regions, dissapearing wooden borders around the units/element window, and the message border reproduced itself so that 8 gray bars (message border top) show up right over it. This seems to happen right after I end turn the first time.

NOTE: I changed the texture settings to every one, and they all did the same thing. I checked cache regions, nothing, unchecked it, nothing, restarting each time for everything.

I found the right combination to make it work, and if anyone else has the same problem, here it is:

KEEP the Maximum Textures setting- changing it in any way causes texture malfunctions.

CHECK the cached regions choice.

INCREASE Windows page file memory to over recommended value, and disable Windows control.

Voila!

This seems to be a video driver glitch. Be sure to have an up to date video driver (less than 6 months). Also, having Vista with only one gig of RAM is not ideal. Personnaly, I would hang vendors selling to customers these kind of system (hey just joking, but it is not 100% honnest to say to a customer that Vista runs fine with 1024 of RAM, knowing the beast will eat more than half just to sustain itself)
