I have had nothing but trouble trying to get this game to run properly on any of my different PC's.
First off, it requires Pixel shader 1.1 support on your video card chipset, which many Nvidia cards do not support(I know many of them do, just not some of mine)
List if Un-supported Nvidia cards Secondly, you are going to need a newer generation video card with 256 Mb minimum.
My first PC has 128mb geforce MX, 512Mb ram,2.6Ghz intel , and the game will not start due to the pixel shader 1.1 issue.
My other pc is 128mb quadro Fx,1Gb ram, 3.0 ghz intel, and the framerate makes it unplayable even at the lowest quality settings.
These are both PC's that have done fine with Doom3, HL2, and many other games.
I now own a $50 game I won't be able to play without dropping another $200-$300 dollars for a top-notch video card.
