I have recently purxchased the warhammer dawn of way boxed set for my Pc. The game Installs and runs and i am able to play skirmish games no problem. However when i try and play the campaign the menu and "world map" screen flickers on and off. it goes from the normal screen to a black screen and back. It stays on each screen for around 1/2 a second. Is there a setting or an upgrade i can change to have this working better. The system does meet the minimum requirments, and as i say it can run the game.

Ensure that your monitor is set to a good resolution (1048x840 is about the accepted standard)
The flickering may occur because it has to keep manually changing the resolution of the screen.
CHange the resolution in windows and in game assure that the resolution (which can be accessed through 'options' 'graphics setting') are all at the same level.
If it works fine in skirmish this may also imply that its the graphics rendering in the 'cut scenes', ensure your graphics card meets the requirements (eg. T&L/SHADING compatable) but as i said, flikering is generally the result of poor screen resolution and the game keeps having to switch it.
PS - ENsure you download the latest patch as well (which are quite tricky to find since there are 10 of them and they are all incrimentals ((eg,. 1.01 1.1 2.0 2.01 2.1 all the way up to about 5.1)
Without this patch you may find an issue on the 3rd mission.

OK just because yor system meets the minim does not mean that it will run the game smoothly.
that sounds like two things that u don't have enough ventral memory or that yor graphic card can't handle the work load. if u are running a integrated graphics card u may think that yor rig(comp) might have 512. but really u only have about 460 since yor graphics card eats up the other ram.
but since yor screen goes black then that means the graphic card u have can't handle the screen resolutions. time to shell out some money and buy anew one that can handle the games screen reslution

make sure you have all the latest drivers and updates for everything on your system
a problem like this could be caused by your soundcard not being installed properly, or your graphics card... but it's more likely the game needs an update...
check online at the games website, read through the forums, chances are it's a software issue, i had similar problem with Rainbow 6 Las Vegas, until I downloaded and installed the update
if this doesn't help, email me with your full system specs, and i'll see what i can find out for you

The problem shoudnt be the game because the same happened to me. The 1 thing you can do is 1.upgrade your graphics card or 2. buy a new computer with better upgrades to make sure that it will work.
