Crash at loading screen thread

Same thing applies for this Simple Icon fix.

However, when playing at the lowest resolution and anti-aliasing off, I was able to complete a game with gradual lag, enough to bother me while playing, but at least playable.

Also, at this lower resolution of the previous post and this post, the game starts out with a jumbled map. The states are all black and all I can really see is icons until I alt tab out and alt tab back in, then everything is fine.

Those Vertex Buffer error s are so weird...you're system is definatly above the min specs we've been testing on.

Are there any spyware filters / antivirus programs running that could be hogging resources? Also, if you dont mind doing some searching, Cari posted a way to make sure you have enough virtual memory available, so if the game needs a bit of overflow, it can use your harddrive without the PC getting angry

I have avast! running currently. I disabled it, but still no success.

I set the virtual memory to 2 Gigs and still without success .

However, I did find that if I choose the Civil War map and only this map, it would actually load the map unlike the others which would just crash before loading it, but this still ends up crashing after I alt tab to get out of the jumbled map problem I mentioned above.
