| Deleted User | Hi Alkis.
Seeing that the game seems to be running fine for you, I wonder if you'd be so kind to tell us if you're using an ATI or Nvidia graphics chipset.

| Deleted User | Ah, for a change, -a game that it is Nvidia friendly. Well, yippee - I've got Nvidia on both my PCs, higher and lower-end, so between the 2 PC's I should be able to play this game, when I finally get it. :
Hm, on the other hand, both my processors are two-core, and Nik suspects that his duo-core processor might be his problem, in getting the game to play. Here's to hoping it's his ATI card rather....

I have a quad processor and an ATI double core 4870. Do you think I'll have problems running/playing it?

| Deleted User | Taurnil, please see Nik2008ofs's solution in the other VS thread. It seems that the answer lies in setting your affinity for only one of your processors. Nik has helped me before with multicore-processor related problems.
Shout if you're not sure if you know how to set it to a single core.

Sets the affinity permanently on the exe.

ok I'll give it a try although I'm afraid of the setting of affinity due to lack of experience at such matters. Thanks anyway.

Taurnil, you can do it manually, but that program that Avatar mentioned is rather useful. I've got it, and have used it quite a lot for my older games. Perhaps you should try it.
You can always download it, and if not sure what to do, ask for help in the Technical issues forum. Someone is sure to help you, and I'll also look out for you there.
Or if you want to just try it manually, and need help, ask and I'll walk you through it here or on the tech forum. You know by now that I'm very patient... : People like Nik2008ofs and JKing and Inland AZ and Jenny100 have helped me a lot, too.

That's a relief. If you'll begin to play it please inform us if you'll encounter anything during playing time. Otherwise I'll check the technical section. Thanks.

| Deleted User | This game is a strange bird indeed. I wonder why some gamers experienced the black screen and others not?
Anyway, it is good news that a lot of you are not having problems. It does sound as if the potential problems are at least fixable, so I'll probably also take the plunge and take a chance on purchasing it as soon as I can find it on the shelves.
In any case, I'm happy to see that the multicore issue seems to be a non-issue for most.
I can't help wondering if the black screen thing and the "crashing" at startup issue, might not somehow have something to do with copy protection?
