Issues fixed

Game freeze and/or tabs to black Windows screen

In this case often a bubble of info stating that the nVidia driver has been restarted.

According to the Gforce forums clocking down ones GPU processor speed by 50Hz will fix the problem. MSI Afterburner is often recommended for this task.

(Underclocking by these small numbers is absolutely safe.

AC3SP.exe has stopped working

Instructions

Low FPS when running two cards in Crossfire.. (Might work for SLI, not tested.)

Instructions

Crash with faulty module dlumd32.dll

Instructions

d3dx9_27.dll error

Instructions

Crash right after introduction video

Instructions

Display driver has stopped responding with GeForce 5xx GPUs

This is probably a fault with the GeForce 5xx default voltage settings being set too low (one possible theory is that people complained about the previous generation of card having too high a power consumption).^[1] You can underclock your GPU or slightly rise GPU voltage.

Instructions

Stuck in the Introduction to stockpile and trade

Graphics Glitching with Anti-Aliasing on very high

Instructions

Launching the game crashes the computer, forcing an hard reboot
