I went and bought Empire Earth for my PC and came home all happy, installed the game and began play. I get all the way to the start of a random map and my computer freezes up. I call the Sierra Tech line and find out i need new video card drivers. So i go to Diamond multimedia's web site and what do my eye see. SonicBlue, some company that took over Diamond. I go looking around the site for drivers for my video card and find them but, the latest on they had came out in October 2000. I have drivers that came around in 2001. So now i got a 50 dollar game i can't play and an outdated set of drivers for my video card. No if any one can find drivers for A Diamond Viper v770 non-ultra/ultra. please post a link or some thing. Just any drivers that were released post August 2001 for that card. ---------------------- The world can always use a new website... MetalHead Magazine

I have a bone to pick with Diamond Multimedia.

It all started around a week ago. I went and bought Empire Earth for my PC and came home all happy, installed the game and began play. I get all the way to the start of a random map and my computer freezes up.

I call the Sierra Tech line and find out i need new video card drivers. So i go to Diamond multimedia's web site and what do my eye see. SonicBlue, some company that took over Diamond.

I go looking around the site for drivers for my video card and find them but, the latest on they had came out in October 2000. I have drivers that came around in 2001. So now i got a 50 dollar game i can't play and an outdated set of drivers for my video card.
