Ok so I seem to crash when I play the server 1.08. It tells me its unable to lock mesh or something like that? Anyone else run into this also when I play the game i get a weird HUD display that tells me my ping FPS and a few other things. Can someone give me the console code to remove this as I think its one of the things giving my game trouble.
net_graph 0 The net graph isn't what is causing your problems, you need to send the .mdmp files in your \Steam\SteamApps\<account name>\Source SDK Base to bugs@empiresmod.com.
The thing is classified as an engine error. It reads "failed to lock vertex buffer in CMeshDX8::LockVertexBuffer" I have no clue but every time its happened... it also pops up with a C++ runtime error and all that as well.
update your drivers and see if that works else try to start up empires with the "-dxlevel 70" attached to the commandline, just to see if it's not directx related..
