kamel Posted May 31, 2016 Posted May 31, 2016 Having some problem getting NA to run properly on my kids PC. Core 2 due 8500. 8 gig Ram Currently a ATI 7700 video card, but also tried a ATI 6870, and a some other thing I had lying around that I forget. I've done a fresh install of windows 7. Updated video drivers, MB driver. Changed monitor and cable. Changed vid card twice. Cannot figure what is wrong. Other games play fine. diagnostics say vid card is fine. Its just NA that won't behave.

kamel Posted May 31, 2016 Author Posted May 31, 2016 Temp is within normal operating levels. 50 ish degrees. I ran a stress test on it that hiked it up much higher than that. [without incident] Same video card works fine in another computer with the game.
BungeeLemming Posted May 31, 2016 Posted May 31, 2016 did you check the game for corrupted files? go into your steam library, rightklick the game -> properties -> local files In there you look out for "verify integrity of game chache" -> klick that steam will tell you if your game has corrupted data and it will repair those.
kamel Posted May 31, 2016 Author Posted May 31, 2016 Any suggestion of other games that use similar graphics? I ran up Goat Simulator and Minecraft. No problems. [Hey, I'm scratching for stuff I can load on... and I don't want to download World of Tanks...]
Redbeard Hoodlum Posted May 31, 2016 Posted May 31, 2016 Maybe try to reinstall the game and right click launch as admin. Sometimes it helps.
Redbeard Hoodlum Posted May 31, 2016 Posted May 31, 2016 had such problem with HoTS. But it was fine before installing Win10. With Win8 there was no problem.
OlavDeng2 Posted May 31, 2016 Posted May 31, 2016 Just to make sure, you have no overclocks at all on your system? (no CPU, no RAM, no GPU and whatever else you might overclock)
kamel Posted May 31, 2016 Author Posted May 31, 2016 Definitely no overclocks. Still running Windows 7 64 bit. Did a reinstall earlier, but I'll try again and launch as admin.
Ink Posted May 31, 2016 Posted May 31, 2016 These kind of bugs usually are fixed either by set Compatibility with Windows 7 on the both client.exe and client_,exe files (here \SteamApps\common\Naval Action) or turning AMD crossfireX off
kamel Posted May 31, 2016 Author Posted May 31, 2016 Well it suddenly decided to behave. Weird. Thanks for the suggestions. One of them must have worked. I'll be watching it suspiciously for a while.
kamel Posted May 31, 2016 Author Posted May 31, 2016 (edited) Spoke too soon. Tried turning back on some of the stuff that I'd turned off in BIOS. Guess its trial and error to see what's causing the issue. Also, how do you set Compatibility with Windows 7 when I'm already running windows 7? There is no Crossfire option to disable either... probably because I'm using a single card. Edit : Found the compatibility tab. Edited May 31, 2016 by kamel
OlavDeng2 Posted May 31, 2016 Posted May 31, 2016 Quick question, You got the monitor connected to Graphics card or motherboard? Try to make sure that the motherboard GPU is disabled(if there is one present), maybe that is what is causing your issues(somehow)
kamel Posted May 31, 2016 Author Posted May 31, 2016 Got it. Either the windows 7 compatibility mode or running as administrator fixed it. Thanks for the tip.
Ink Posted May 31, 2016 Posted May 31, 2016 Glad to hear the issue is solved, Captain. Most likely it is windows 7 compatibility mode.
