I belive that the folowing issues are caused by problems with vista, or possibly my video card (nVidia, geforce go 7300)
1) Freezes, this i belive caould be either, i have updated my video drivers, but the ones that are supposed to work with Go 7xxx cards apparrently only work with the 7800-7900 models. the freeze occurs randomly in game, i've put up with it for ages now, but if i were to freeze during a clan war, i'd be pretty mad.
2) Icons, this i would say, is almost definately a vista problem. the "soldat" icon no longer works, i cant run soldat modded, and i cant run it via the mod starter, the only way it runs is via Xfire. which is annoying.
