Roger that. Will do and advise.

It will be. Make sure that you get a 64bit OS as well.

Yep...thank you! Do have that covered with Windows 7, 64 Bit.

Thanks, all.

Negative ADukes,

No change. Have also ramped up all the graphics to best. Got more trees, some rocks and now have fences but thats it. Have some kind of purple-ish area now where the streams are sort-of supposed to be but thats it. Also, my graphics card is a 3D card.
Interogative - perhaps this post should have been in the Tech Support area? Sorry, not thinking.

bfrusa - you and I are in the same situation, I think.

I also tried the non-fullscreen and didn't find anything different.

What is fullscreen, and what isn't?

bfrusa: I'm able to keep all the terrain stuff on high (uniforms on minimum) and the game runs just fine (with the exception that I can't see the ground). So, with all the fences and objects, I can sortof play the game (I must say, I did rather well on the 1st Scenario - Buford). I PM'd norb, and he said that the problem likely is that you need 256mb of RAM on your videocard, and that is probably the reason why the ground doesn't show up.

I am right with you with my current machine. At first, I thought that GB had been moved to the slopes of the Rockies with "snow-covered" ground and "purple" streams!

I am playing with Pentium M 1GHz and 1 Gb RAM, 128 mb Radien video card. I can play small/medium battles with medium uniforms and no trees off map. Some occasional stuttering, but I can live with it. I couldn't play hi res or large battles in TC2M either.

Pentium 4 2.8GHz 1GB RAM 128MB FX5200 Video card.
Demo had so much lag, it was unplayable. Every option was turned down to minimum.
Good to see some low end machines playing fine! Back to TC2M for me!

Gentlemen,

Yes, Norb's comment makes sense. Ebay has a bunch of 9250/256 MB cards. Wanted to upgrade my other computer's vid-card anyway so this is the perfect time. Will keep this computer for TC2M and transfer SOWGB to the other one. Ordered one up for less then I paid for the 9250/128 MB card last month. Again, gameplay was fine. Scored a 2958 on the demo tutorial. So, in a couple of days I'll be ready to go, again.
See you all out there.

This is one of the reasons that we would not release the game before the demo and packaged them both together. We wanted to make sure that people had a chance to play and see how it performed before they spent their money.

[Jack ONeill]

And a wise call it was too. Let's me know what to do and slam in a fresh vid-card which I wanted to do anyway. 3-4 days and we'll know if that did it or not. Then, somewhere, I've got to find $45.00 for the real game. LOL!
