It seems Atari's method of support is to generalize the issue and suggest some re-installs of DirectX 9 and the video drivers. Now that I've completed those tasks without any change in behaviour I thought I would post to see if mine is a unique issue. I have read forums on Halo 2 issues with my video card/driver. Someone on that thread suggested adding some switches to the executable to change the performance level. These switches were unique to halo and not applicable to A&A.
My system is using the ATI Radeon Mobility 9000. It doesn't draw the terrain in the game with the exception of trees and roads leaving units, buildings, and certain unique features sitting on a black background. Further making it tough to play with the poor graphics render....the menus, help boxes, and descriptions get drawn but no text gets placed in these boxes. I can't even see what my resource totals are at any time. Progress bars aren't filled, the General's face is just a shell as well.
After several minutes of playing this disabled game the system crashes with a blue screen. It states that ati3d2ag.dll was the problem. I did some searching on that issue I did not come up with anything useful to fix this issue. Any advise or like experiences to share will be useful. Atari if you're reading this...2 weeks of requesting support on several occasions with only 1 canned email response is unacceptable!
