I've played this game on 4 separate computers, using both win 98 and XP and sometimes it runs, sometimes it doesn't. The voice and effects sounds are almost always screwed (I've tried several different sound cards, most recently a sound blaster live 5.1), but the music generally works. The graphics worked ok on a geforce 4 mx 440, but they're completely screwed on my geforce 8600 GT. Even with the graphics on minimum settings it's unplayable. Cross your fingers depending on your hardware - best of luck trying to get it to work, even with the newest patch. |

Hello I want to play star trek armada recently, and I have problems. I think is solved it So I try everything what you write,this is not a hyperthreading issue.I try to change compatibility mode,but didnot work also. When I trying things,once time it worked,I dont know why because later the problem comes up again.So i tried to reconstruct the parameters ,when it worked,and i wondered. When I opened an internet explorer window,minimized it and run the game it works normally. I tried 4 times again to be sure. I dont know how it possible,but it works.When I close the window it wrong again.I hope it dont depend on other parapeters,but i run it windows nt compatibility mode. for the soundproblem: run dxdiag from startmenu/run and try to change hardware acceleration opinion. It works on basic acceleration. |

Armada is one of my favorite games so I've tried to get it to run on my machines. First, if you're running Windows 98/Me, the game works great. Under XP, it works fine with garbled voice sounds. Here's the problem - ARMADA doesn't like DirectX 9 I've tested the game under XP with and without DX9 and it freezes with bad pixels under DX9. My suggestion is to uninstall DX9 or buy a video card that supports DX 8 and under. Recommendations - Radeon 9000 or Geforce 2 Series cards. |
