Save Empire Earth

Hi guys, I'm glad that I could find a community for EE since it's really dying..

I hope someone can help me find a solution to my Problem.
I downloaded EE from the Download Section of Save-EE and installed all the updates. As soon as i click the "Random Map/Skirmish" button (I'm sorry, i'm not playing in english), the Menu goes Wild as you can see at the "Skirmish Menu" Screenshot

After trying to press play without changing anything and start a game, everything looks fine for about 2 seconds and then it looks like the "ingame" Screenshot I attached.

I've tried everything google asked me to. Re-Installed it multiple times; updated it to patch 2.2 from Save-EE and tried it on 2.0 aswell; I tried running it as Windows XP and as Windows 98; tried different resolutions; I selected only one CPU Core for the game instead of all 4 but I cant find any help and most threads are about 5-10 years old...

Tried it on my crappy Notebook and my Home Computer

Computer Specs:
Intel Core i5, 3,1GHz
XFX R9 290X 2Gb
16GB RAM

My Notebook specs:
Intel Core i5-4210, 2,9GHz
Intel HD Graphics 4600
8 GB RAM


Tell me if you need more Informations.


I'd appreciate if someone could help me.

Try out a new driver for Intel HD 4600, you find the link there:

What Windows do you have?
Something that helped me multiple times was installing EE through an other installation package.
For example instead of EE Unlimited, try EE Complete, EE Gold Edition, EE from Souldrinker etc.

I use Windows7 Professional for both machines.

I will try your advices. Thanks in advance!

I googled for the Gold Edition and found a download.

It works without any patches. I'll try something and then post the final solution for future help purposes.

Thanks to you guys! You're awesome!
