Re: Nvidia Graphics Card Issues!
Hi Ive been having the same problem. My map was showing up all wierd and I went into the Nvidia Control Panel and changed all my specifications to the same as in Dao Yu's pictures and that brought the picture of the map but it would not load. I cant click on any villages or resource stashes around me but if I click on the village tab, it takes a minute but then my village will come up. And the rest of the game works normally. I know a little about computers, and usually get pretty lucky with figuring stuff out but no matter how I messed with specifications it either didnt help or only made it worse.. Can anyone help me out??

Re: Nvidia Graphics Card Issues!
Anau, chances are you are using a driver tha tis not compatiable with the game. You have to downgrade your Nvidia Graphics Driver and see if that fixes the problem.

Hi Anau,
Another Moderator gave me this link. It may help but the decision to use it, or not, is yours! Remember to make a restore point just in case, before you run any program. http://www.drivermax.com/

Re: Nvidia Graphics Card Issues!
Go to Nvidia.com and try to download one of their later drivers like someone stated earlier. any 270.xx drivers might solve the problem.

Re: Nvidia Graphics Card Issues!
After I installed the last Nvidia update (295.73-desktop-winxp-32bit-international-whql.exe) the map and castle wiev started to flash, and I couldn't use any icon on these wievs.
I reinstalled the previous nvidia driver (285.58-desktop-winxp-32bit-international-whql.exe) and it solved the problem.

Re: Nvidia Graphics Card Issues!
It appears that several other games have similar issues with the newest driver, so it is not specific to our software.
