Empire: Total War
Is there any trick to getting this game to work in 3D. It crashes during the intro movie. Even, the few times, I got past the intro, it still crashed.

You probably have to revert to an older driver. I'm trying to find one now that works, but I already had to revert to 362.00 to play FC Primal. Edit: Well, no luck with 361.43 from December 2015. That's the last one available to download from Nvidia still. It could be a Windows 10 issue as well. No luck changing MS compatibility mode to Windows 7. Tried 353.62 as well with no success. It's probably because of Windows 10, but I no longer have my Windows 7 machine to check with for certain.

Yes, a friend of mine has reported that I will have to revert. He doesn't know the version he used to get it to work but he tells me it was quite a ways back. Thanks for the help.

I got it working by switching to Shader Model 2, by the way. I'm still on 353.62, but it should work in general. SSAO and HDR are gone, though. Edit: OK, what the game doesn't like is anti-aliasing apparently. All the other effects work without the game hanging.
