Re: Problem with Empire Earth 11

Hi ellnic.
I beleieve the problem is due to your ATI Rage128 Pro. That graphics chipset does not support Hardware Transform and Lighting or Pixel Shaders which are both required for the game to run.
If you look in the readme you should see something along the lines of this:

1. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

MINIMUM SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
- NVIDIA(R) GeForce(TM) 2 or equivalent DirectX(R) 9.0c-compliant 64 MB 3D video card with hardware T&L and pixel shader support
- Microsoft(R) Windows(R) 98/Me/2000/XP operating system
- 1.5 GHz Intel(R) Pentium(R) 3 or AMD(R) Athlon(TM) processor or equivalent
- 256 MB RAM
- 1.5 GB of uncompressed hard disk space for game files
- DirectX(R) 9.0c (included)
- DirectX(R)-compatible sound card and speakers or headphones
- 4X CD-ROM drive
- Microsoft(R) compatible mouse and keyboard
Your other computer probably has newer hardware so it has no problem running on it.
Unfortunately the only way around this is to upgrade the computer with newer hardware.
