Nick Thomadis Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Welcome to the Technical solution thread of Ultimate General: GettysburgHere we will link to common issues you report to us in the support forum and in our Steam page as well as provide some quick tips. >>>Installation instructions<<< The game does not start If your game does not start or crash it could happen due to many reasons. A. The first thing to do is to check your system specs. Please check that your computer meets following minimum requirements: Operating System: Windows 7 Processor: Dual Core CPU 1.6Ghz Memory: 2 Gb Video card/Graphics: 512Mb VRAM, Intel HD 3000 and higher, GeForce 8800 and higher,AMD Radeon X1600 and higher Screen resolution: 1024x768 Hard drive: 2 Gb Also note that Intel video cards older than Intel HD 3000 are not supported. If you computer specifications are below requirements, there is nothing we can do. The game might work but currently we are not supporting lower end computers. B. If your computer is above the minimal requirements then these could be the reasons for problems. 1. Game should always be started through your Steam Library and never directly from game folder. Game also can be started from shortcut created by Steam, but not by direct shortcut to game executable. Basically the game only works if you launch it with Steam Launcher. 2. If game crashes on start (before intro video) please check 1. and 2. and if both rules are followed look instructions in 5. 3. If game crashes after main menu (during map loading for example), try to disable "Unit Transparency" in game Options. This issue caused by incompatibility of game shaders with some video card drivers. We are working on fix for this issue. 4. If you still have issue please use one of the following ways to report a bug. C.
