Re: Please Help with game prob

Hmmm, since you say your drivers are up to date, it can't be drivers but, are you using BETA drivers? Also, is your CPU or GPU overclock? Some games have issues with this. I have also noticed this when I try playing the games with a No-CD crack in order to avoid having the cd in the drive.

Sorry, that's all I have since your system is more than capable of playing this game. Only other think I can think of is that this is a badly optimized Console to PC Port but, since I don't play the game, I couldn't be sure.
