Im currently having problems with the sound looping in the tutorial *haven't tried campaign mode yet.

I have DX 9.0c on windows XP ME SP3
Video Card is GeForce 6500... i know the req. say 6600 or better but could this be causing the problem? Updated Video drivers and Patched to 1.11
also wondering if anyone else has this problem or how they fixed it

I found the problem i did a search on the forum for "sound looping" and "sound problems" before posting earlier but found no solutions applicable to me... however, just trolling posts I found the answer... I just had to restart the computer after installation lol. anyhow, it works fine now Big Grin
I just bought Grand Ages Rome from Gamersgate and patched to 1.11 and am trying to do the tutorial. The first message tells me to use the mouse to scroll and the middle mouse button to rotate. I'm playing on a laptop with no middle mouse button. How do I rotate? And how do I get the tutorial to continue? Nothing is happening. Is there a manual for this game

Have you tried holding down the left and right buttons at the same time while you scroll?

Yes, I tried that and it didn't do it. After fooling around for a while I discovered that if you hold ALT while moving the pointer you can change the view. It'd be nice if this game had a manual. How can anyone sell a game without a manual????
I just bought the game and am eager to play it. Installing it on a Windows Vista and recieved the following message:

"You need a supported DX-9 compatible video card with a recent driver to play this game. Check our website for a list of supported chipsets."

I'm computer handicapped so I don't have a clue what this means. I only know that the game does not start and do not know what to do next.

Help????
Ok, well, check to make sure that your video card meets the minimum system requirments first of all. If it does, try going to your card maufacturers website and download the latest drivers. To find your computer information, go to Control Panel\System and Maintenance\Performance Information and Tools, then click on the 'view and print details'. If you still need help, post your system info and someone can probably help you out.
Hi,

Just bought a Grand Ages Rome - Gold edition from steam.. installation went smoothly and finish.. when tried to launch it brings me to select option if the main game or expansion game then after I Click "play"

It only says "preparing..." it doesn't give me any error or launch the game itself (just bough it last night I've tried the demo version works perfectly via steam but when I've purchase very disappointed coz I've install/uninstall several times but no joy... romanum emperium works perfectly last time also)

That was strange. You can report it to Steam if you haven't already. It seems like you have an integrated video card, that may be the problem. I can't help you more than that, cause I'm not familiar with Steam errors.
Hi, I have been playing GAR on my computer completely fine until I try Multi-player. I can NOT connect to multi-player "can't connect to internet, check internet connection" My internet connection works fine if I use Firefox. I emailed Kalypso, and they said try turning off firewall/anti virus, I did and still can not connect. My Internet Explorer does not function properly, however Firefox is my default browser. Any suggestions? Thanks.
Hi Guys!

Im a new nember to the Gar- family, and i am having some trouelbe getting started.

I hade similar issues as people who have posted before, that my computer sez: i need a supported Dx9 compatible video card, with resent drivers.

My specs are:
Systems: Manufacturer: Dell
Type: Inspiron 530s
System memory:1,99 Gb Ram

storing capacity: 289 Gb (213 free diskspace)

Graphics: Graphic card: Intel® G33/31 Express Chipset Family
Graphic memory: 286 mb
Graphic drives: 7.15.10.1666
Directx.version:Directx 9.0 or later


The impression i have got from reading threads is that my graphics card is a bit bad, is it correct that i need to get a new one?(considering my specs)

And if i do get i new one, what should i think of when buying one? (compatability with other stuff in my computer and so, working with Gar..etc)

I would be very grateful for response, and pardon my english!

You MUST upgrade your video card. If it is possible, upgrade to a video card with 1GB of ram.
