Game stops responding

[desmedn]

I am running Windows7 on a quad core i7 with 6 GB memory and a Geforce 8800 GTX . The game installed and activated fine. Running directX latest version and have installed 9c. Every time that I start a tutorial or scenario the will go through the loading process and get to the press space to continue. At this point the game stops responding.

I have tried launching the game running as administrator, changing the compatibility mode to XP SP2

Have tried this as well:

Please edit your SOWGB.ini file located in the WORK subdirectory of your SOWGB installation and set "Full Screen=1" to "Full Screen=0"
(w/o ""), then try again.

and this:

Two things you could try: Update your graphic card driver and lower the game's graphic options.

Please attach the SOWGB.log file located in the C:\Scourge of War - Gettysburg\Work\ folder after your next crash.

BTW, the "D3DERR_DeviceLost" error is gone since installing DX9, right?

Any help would be appreciated - thanks

Does it happen on every game mode? Sandbox? SP Scenario's?

Welcome Dan. Nice that you made it.

Did you try the beta patch?

[desmedn]

yeah - happens with all

[desmedn]

YEs - I loaded the beta this morning - but I have not rebooted - same issue

Try running in a 1024x768 window (not full screen), turn down all the options and see if that works. This starts at the min specs.

Does anything happen when you press the space bar?

[desmedn]

When I press the space bar nothing happens and the game just sits, Task manager shows the game as not responding. I have waited 1/2 hour to see if the game will finally respond, but it has not. I have booted clean (making sure nothing else starts and same result) thanks

[norb]

OK, Let me know what happens when you run in the mode that I suggested.

[desmedn]

I tried the lowest resolution and 1024x768, no luck. I then uninstalled and booted to an XP drive and installed (on the same PC)and the game works. The game did not work on x64 Windows 7. I would like to get this to work on the x64 Win7, so any ideas let me know. On the XP install, running the game with highest resolution and no issues - thanks

I run the game on win7 64 bit every day. It's my development environment now. Other people here and members of the dev team also use win7. I think that yours is the only one that it won't run on.
