I read that it is all about your graphics processor and since mine is > 128 I figured it'd work. But it locks up the game.

If my specs aren't high enough, just say so.

Try updating your video card. Can you tell me what video card you have?

Some video cards needs updates for this game.

Nvidia 5200 fx, but I'm almost positive I have the latest drivers. I'll recheck.

Can I see your entire specs?

1. Start button
2. Type or go to " run "
3. Type " dxdiag "
4. Go to Display
5. Copy and Paste the details here.

I know how to do that. =P

It will scan your computer for your video card and will try to update it.


If you're from another country, you can just change it by clicking the US flag at the top right.

Urgh, don't bother perusing this.

The game isn't actually locking up - that's how fast a 5200 runs shaders.

I worked it out to be approx 1 frame every 3 minutes when I did a test for lols. TBH the FX/5 series suck for shaders, even the faster FX cards are hopeless.

Thanks mate, I had figured my hardware just wasn't good enough but I figured I'd try to see if maybe it was something else. Just confirming my first thoughts. =)
