SOLUTION: for graphics error, and game speed / scroll speed crash for windows 10

1) Go to the folder steam>steamapps>common>American Conquest
2) highlight, but don't run, the DMCR.exe application icon. This will show the "Application Tools" option in the windows explorer top menu bar
3) click manage, test compatability
4) allow the system to detect best settings. It should select windows XP compatability mode

For me, this allowed me to select my HD resolution under game options, and also slow the game speed down where I wanted it, which was 75% at slow mode.

Hope that helps others!

Hello, sometimes you have this error with resolution but the problem is not from it.

WIN 10 :
Go to your desktop
right click
screen setup
Change the size of text, apps, and other elements : to 100% (not more)

This worked for me, ty. I was having the problem that my screen was cut on the right side when i put the game in 1920x1080 res.
This fix, plus the fact that I run the game in compatibility mode (win xp service pack 2), solved all of my problems(I also had the problem that when I slowed the game speed it crashed, and it was solved by the compatibility option). I recommend trying this for windows 10 users
