Nope, sorry.

Hard to say, unfortunately. I don't know the exact cause of this problem, although others have managed to find work-arounds in some cases, I believe. Cold comfort for you, I'm afraid.

By any chance do you have access to a different video card you could drop in?

I use a laptop so any of my spare graphics cards are of no use but i am very certain that it not a hardware or graphics driver issue.
I think the problem is that a file or files that Allegiance is dependent on is either being corrupted or not being allowed full access, i make this assumption because the problem occurs with bad installations of VS10 or Microsoft updates (i managed to eliminate Norton and Samsung tools as a problem by removing them). Right now all that could help is being able know find that specific file or update causing the problem.

I guess if nothing works i can start with a clean copy of windows and download only necessary drivers, instead of restoring from the default image that came with the laptop or maybe just restore and disable windows auto update. - will try those later.

Bummer. Yeah, lappies are rather difficult to deal with on the options side of things. They're a great convenience, but not very flexible.

I have this same exact problem, except I'm running Windows XP with a nVidia 7300 GT graphics card, and Windows XP. I doubt your graphics adapter is the problem, zer0.

Although for me, the problem occurred as soon as I installed the program. Works fine on beta mode (training missions et al), and in windowed mode. But windowed mode isn't of much use anyway.

Please start your own thread and use the template. ;)

The history of open-source Allegiance is paved with the bodies of dead code branches, forum flame wars, and personal vendettas. But a community remains because people still love the game.

Well short of reformatting my computer with samsung factory nothing else works.
I even tried installing my own copy of win7 then installing only essential drivers and i am still getting a problem.
