Please be patient, with so many new posts it takes a while before we reach one in particular.

Regarding the issue, I would ask if you could please post your settings, as well as hardware specifications. It appears it has not loaded the island texture, which indicates either a corrupted install, or you've run out of memory. So please post those specs and I'll try to help you resolve the issue.

sorry for the spam

my computer specs are

1gb momery

3.2 ghz processer

512 ddr2 nividia

and my settings are low

1gb momery

That could be the problem right there, the box states minimum requirement of 2GB and recommended is 4GB

Yes, that does sound like it. I would then recommend 2 things for you, themens:

1) Try starting up the game again, and when you encounter the issue, press alt+ctrl+del, and open task manager. Then click on the Performance tab, and you will see how much RAM is being used in the bottom-left column. If that is 100%, then you've located your issue.

2) Try setting all details to minimum in the game's options. If that resolves the issue, then again it points towards a lack of memory.

If you do find you are running low on memory, then I would seriously recommend upgrading, especially if you have windows 7 or vista. 1GB of RAM is quite low today.

Hope that helps.
