'Lo all, joined this forum after finding the thread on a google search.
I've been playing the Warhammer PC games since I got my first PC some years ago, and loved every one I could get my hands on, which was all of them apart from Chaos Gate.
I managed to get my hands on it recently, after playing Dawn of War make me hanker for the old days of things like Final Liberation and Rites of War, and I installed with great anticipation.
It works, sort of.
I don't have any of the problems with crashing that have been mentioned previously in this thread, if and when it does crash it seems to be pretty random. My problem is that it's dark, really dark, dark enough that on jungle levels I can't make out the terrain. It's not just in-game either, all the menu's and cutsequences are dark. I've tried changing my video brightness, and my monitor brightness is already at max but it's made no difference, it seems like when the game launches the video sets itself to hardware default, which is pretty day.
I've tried all the compatibility modes, rolling back my video drivers and what not, but they don't make a difference. Anyone have any other suggestions?
I'm running XP Pro SP2, with a 2.6 Athlon XP, 1024mb Ram and a nVidia GeForce FX5600 with 256mb RAM
