Game Won't Run Correctly?

[PMcOuntryGirl]

Hi, I purchased this game for my nephew and it won't run correctly. Very, very slow to load and so slow you can't even play it. What's the deal? It's installed on a Dell computer with good specs. Any ideas. He's really frustrated.

Could you define "good specs" as well as the settings you're playing on?

Windows 7 64x
Processor: Pentium(R) Dual-Core CPU E5700 @ 3.00GHz (2 CPUs), ~3.0GHz
Memory: 4096MB RAM
Available OS Memory: 4060MB RAM
Card name: Intel(R) G45/G43 Express Chipset
Manufacturer: Intel Corporation
Chip type: Intel(R) 4 Series Express Chipset Family
Display Memory: 1695 MB
Dedicated Memory: 64 MB
Shared Memory: 1631 MB
Current Mode: 1920 x 1080 (32 bit) (60Hz)

Not sure what all info you want. He's running it on 1920 x 1080 in "HigH" graphics mode. We though maybe running it in "Ultra" was causing the problem, but it wasn't. I have not tried it on a computer with a better graphics card.

Hi there,

Hmm, I think a G45/G43 might be a bit too slow to run the game in High; my 6970 that gets about 100fps is 50x faster:

Have you tried the "crippled" graphics mode? We've got a no questions asked money back guarantee so if you'd like a refund, please email me at: [e-mail]

Let me try the crippled mode and see what it does. That setting works great! Thank you so much!

Sounds like you're out of memory. 64mb of dedicated graphics memory is infinitesimally small for most purposes these days, and I suspect windows 7 plus whatever else you're running is pulling away the rest of the shared memory.
