I did a brief search of the thread and didn't find anything related. I'm playing the demo, and when the UK declares war on someone the game suddenly goes from smooth as silk on the highest setting down to chopping and about 10 frames a second on the lowest speed.
Is it path-finding causing this, or are there units on the world moving and canceling their orders over and over or what?
I'm having the black screen switching problem as well. Also as mentioned the sounds stop playing after a while.
Running win 7 64, ATI 4870, latest drivers, it's not in program files
Thank You
I managed to update driver for my ATI IGP Xpress 1150, but game still CTD on screen with cruiser Aurora during loading graphics...
//and this error message, again:
Code:Error " CreateVertexDeclaration failed! (WavesVertexDecl) "

I have the same problem. I have a ATI X600 radeon.Originally Posted by littlekubo
I have no idea to solve it
what is date of your driver? or just in Paradox forgot for us, players on older laptops?

We are working on this. So far you will get the same error in the full game though.
I have no idea, 2005-2006 perhaps?what is date of your driver? or just in Paradox forgot for us, players on older laptops?
I have installed ATI catalyst control center and I think that I have updated my software but the problem still the same.
Try this method: http://www.hardwareheaven.com/modtool.php and for drivers download exact drivers for your card from amd page...

Had a CTD when first playing the demo. It occured when trying for a SP game after completing the tutorials.
Restarted V2 and directly started a game - worked smoothly.
Kind of a memory leak in the demo/game?

Hi everyone!
I'm trying to play the tutorial but I get "v2demo has stopped responding" or the game freezes without any error message about every 15 minutes or so. The game is not playable for me that way. When I take a look at the system.log it strikes me that it says "System memory: 0MB" (I have 8GB RAM) and that It says "CPU type: x86" instead of 64bit.
HoI3 Semper Fi runs stable on my system. Any ideas?

Appears to be a problem with the game needing Vertex Shader 3.0 which older ATI cards don't support. Workaround for now is to install the SwiftShader demo: http://www.transgaming.com/business/swiftshader . This uses software to emulate the shaders. (Note this would also affect anyone trying to run the game on a GeForce FX 5200-5900.)
These are both 'normal'; the system.log always reports 0MB if you have >4GB and x86 in this case includes 64-bit.

Thanks a lot for your help, it works but it´s the slowest thing I have known in my life.
Perhaps it´s for the software shading but I think that Victoria II won´t work a normal speed in my pc. I will buy another pc.
Thanks for all
Hi, trying to see how the demo is.
It loaded once, I fiddled around a bit then had to close it. Now everytime I try and load up again it hangs before the title screen, something about Quad Texture 23. Running Win7 64bit.
this is gift from heaventhanks a million. game now lags on continent, maybe counters for units can help... or some mode with Viky 1 map graphics...

Any solutions for the Quad 23 texture message during initialization?
I just want to try the demo before work today.
Hey guys, I have a rather old notebook so I decided to try to demo first after seeing all those CTD problems people in this thread had. No CTDs thankfully but as you can see I have a totally gamebreaking graphics problem. I have an ATI Radeon Mobility X1400 graphics card with the latest Catalyst drivers, latest .NET framework etc, an Intel Core Duo T2300 processor, 1GB of RAM and I am using WinXP Professional. Does anyone know what may have caused this problem and any way to solve it?
This is likely your problem; apparently the latest Catalyst causes similar issues in a number of games. Try rolling back to an older version.

Hey I'm having that same quad shader 23 problem after one load of the demO. I read it happens in regular game too so can someone tell me how to fix it? Can't bu this game if I have to reinstall it every time I play it? Why hasn't any staff answred the other people who have asked about this either? Pretty crippling issue!
You should only have that problem if you delete the map cache and you shouldn't need to do that normally. Mainly only when using mods that modify the map. If the game is trying to rebuild the cache when you didn't delete it then you have an additional problem. Make sure the game is not installed in Program Files if you are running Windows 7 or Vista and haven't disabled UAC.

I too had the "CreateVertexDeclaration failed! (WavesVertexDecl)" problem but got it to work with swiftshader, but the game runs extremely slowly. Is there any way to make it faster without buying a new computer?
