Ok so my system can run it on paper but when i tried to play the game it would play the intro video but the game menu wouldnt come up the screen was black and all i could see was my coursor. I tried to update my drivers but that didnt work also. It gave me some error saying my card wasnt resonding also with the new drivers the frame rate it really bad and blinks when i scroll down like on web pages.. Any suggestions?

The game is incredibly buggy right now and dispite claiming to only require a GPU with pixel shader 1.4 support (DX 8.1) many people are having problems running the game on anything but DX9 hardware.

You should try completley removing your video drivers (use driver cleaner in safemode after uninstalling) and installing a different version from the last one you tried. Even a slightly older version; im on 5.4 cats and all is well.

t it didnt work. I called up ATI and the tech guys said 9200 cant run it so looks like im SOL. Thanks for the advice though
