I am having precisely the issue described by the thread author. However, neither switching to Direct 3D TnL or running as an administrator has helped the problem.

Interestingly enough the game runs 100% fine on my laptop with the same OS.

WARNING! NeoEE completely broke my game after complaining about the lack of CD keys. After uninstalling NeoEE again, it still left files laying about on my installation folder!

Intel i7 4790K
AMD Radeon R9 290x
Windows 7 Ultimate

I had this issue (game freezing shortly after loading a random map, or when changing the graphics settings), but found a fix:
For me, the problem turned out to be a shader conflict with my newer graphics card. We can force a program to use a different shader technique using the free 3D_Analyze program below:

http://www.3dfxzone.it/dir/tools/3d_analyze/download/

Once downloaded and installed, right click the program and change the compatibility to windows 7 AND check run as an administrator.

Run the program, and open the Empire Earth executable to edit it, then select the checkbox for "Force Max. Pixel Shader v. 1.1", then run the file to see if it works. If the problem is fixed, repeat the process but save the patch as a batch file, so you don't have to use 3D analyze every time you want to get EE running.

Good luck!

I am having a problem where every time I play a campaign mode on either Empire Earth or Art of War my screen will freeze the moment I try to build a citizen. What is weird is that it does not freeze when I try to build a citizen on a non-campaign game or when I build other units on campaign mode.

I have tried running as an administrator but it is still not working.

Any Suggestions?

i had the same problem for awhile. did all the steps but noting seems to work that everyone suggested. i have found that the most stable way to play without the game freezing is to leave the display settings in game as is and just change your pc display settings. ive been running my computer at 800x600 whenever i play and i have had no freeze issues. i havent bothered to see if i can run the game at a higher resolution.

I want my money back, I've tried everything I've seen in this list but my game keeps crashing as soon as the map opens and freezing my laptop I've restarted 20+ times and I'm over it.

squogg: Hi,

I decided to get Empire Earth, but when I select 'single player' the laptop goes to the home screen and then the game crashes and closes. Can anyone suggest anything that may help?

Thanks!

DrMonaLisa: As first install neoEE patch: http://www.neoee.net/
I downloaded that patch and my antivirus says it contained a trojan virus. Still can't figure out how to get this game to stop crashing.

i fixed it without any tool and updates..
i installed Empire Earth also with shortcuts..
right clicked the shortcut to property..
here is what i did in shortcut tab advanced run as admin checked.
then in compitable tab i changed settings for all users unchecked everything
unchecked everything again and apply

if the game does not start run it with windows vista compitable once if the freezing is there close the game and uncheck the box and run the game once more this will fix it and it will run like its intended

I also had this problem, game would freeze my laptop shortly after starting a random map.

The way I fixed it was turning off the autosave.
