I had this happen a while ago during the Manhattan mission..... whenever i switched to the Sniper,Cooper would order everyone off to some random point??? Then for some reason my Corpsman did some kind of Star Trek teleport back to the base,and was sat in a jeep.??? lol

Just install the legit copy and use the legit code.

Overclock your Cpu and Gpu... i use EVGA Precision to oc my 9500gt card.

I think peoples satisfaction of the game is determined by what they expected from it in the first place,if you've got an expensive pc setup with top of the line hardware then you would expect to to be able to max out all the settings,and get great framerates aswell,and it's understandable that people are annoyed when it doesn't pan out that way. I've personally got a low spec pc at the mo ( Pentium D 2.8ghz - 9500gt..lol )and the demo didn't run very well on it,but i still took a chance on the full retail version,and with a few tweaks and patches the game looks and runs well at decent settings (20-25 fps),i'm basically happy to be able to play the game at all tbh,and i dont think you need 60+fps to enjoy it.I may have a bit more patience than others though,as i happily played through Stalker SOC on this pc,and that game has one or two bugs itself.;)

I've noticed a slight performance boost from the Beta patch.. but i did overclock my gpu around the same time.

Your specs aren't much different to mine tbh,and it is playable on my pc; Try these settings. Texture = V high memory = Default Ani Filter = V high AA = Off Terrain= Low object detail = v Low Shadows = Off Post pro = Off I defrag my Hd regularly aswell I play in 1280 x 1024 res

I was getting a bit annoyed with the chopper crashing when i ordered a pick up..until i realised i was in a bit of a hotspot,and it kept getting shot down.lol

I use Defraggler... it's freeware from Piriform,the makers of CCleaner.

The patch works great for me,i've got a 5-10 fps increase and the texture loading is a lot better.The only downside is i've lost all my campaign progress :mad: The funny thing is my specs are rubbish compared to a lot of you guys ( pentium D 2.8ghz...9500gt...4gb ram)..but i've never had one crash or error.

I use a 9500GT at 1280x1024 res with a Pentium D 2.8 ghz,4gb of ram on XP... Texture - V High Memory- Default Anti Filter- V High AA- Off Terrain- V Low Objects detail- Low Shader detail-normal/off PP Effects- Off Aspect ratio- 5-4 with a few tweaks and the 190.38 beta drivers i get 20-25 fps average.

Disable Post Process Effects in video options to get rid of blurriness.

When i adjust video settings then go back to the game my screen is blurry.. i have to press esc,then continue again for it to return to normal.

Cheers for the heads up but is it worth updating from the beta version?

Would a 265/275/285 be ok with my Pentium Dual core 2.8ghz? if not,what is the best card that would'nt bottleneck at my Cpu?

Thanks for the reply... so a new Cpu and Mobo would be the best thing to upgrade first,the trouble is i cant really afford too much at the moment..if i just got a new mobo for the time being,my processor is a presley which i've heard is "quite good" for overclocking? failing that,what would be a good card to complement my current Cpu? :ok:

I've been wondering about this myself.. I'm looking to buy a new Gpu soon,but i don't want to spend too much on one,just for it to bottleneck at my Cpu. I've got an Intel Pentium D 2.8ghz..i would oc it to 3 or more but my bios is locked on the mobo ( damn you packard Bell ).I'm currently using a 9500gt with it. So can anyone recommend a card that will run well with my processor? or should i upgrade my Cpu first?

I'm getting a nice performance boost from the new drivers :)

I find it strange that people with such hi end pc's,way above the recommended specs are having trouble just playing this game...there is something seriously wrong with the coding. I'm running it with a 2.8ghz dual core,9500gt,4 gb of ram,on XP SP3...but i haven't had one crash as yet.

I'm using a 9500 gt 1gb myself.... you will be able to play the game on low-medium settings,and with a few tweaks it will look ok,but you'll get 15- 25 fps max. i'm gonna get a new card myself,and as others have said,it'll be worth you spending atleast 100 on a decent card,if you can afford it.
