Hello folks!

I have been playing EE hardcore in the past and the last days I have been trying to run Empire Earth on a Windows tablet because it would be tight to play it on the tablet. To my disappointment this did not work for some reason. The tablet should handle it but it doesn't. The tablet specs are:

When I start EE it just freezes on the logo and I get an error that it doesn't react anymore. Does anyone know how to run Empire Earth on this system? I'm literally out of solutions. I tried running it in compatibility mode, nothing. Tried to you 3d analyze and checked the 'Force max pixel shader version 1.1) as said on the internet, nothing. If graphic memory needed for EE is 256MB so it shouldn't be a problem, if so, any ways to exted graphic memory? Hope someone can make something out of this. I'd be grateful for ever. Thanks in advance.

Have you already installed the NeoEE patch and tried again afterwards?

I tried the 1.4 and after that the 1.4 to 2.0, do you mean this patch?

Nope, the NeoEE patch is made by Jodocus/RealForce. It's not an official patch by Sierra.

Go to neoee.net and download the neoee patch. It should fix most issues.

Thanks for the advice. I tried this and it didn't work either. The NeoEE .exe files didn't work either. I guess I'm all out of options.
