I haven't had a single thing go wrong with this game! I have the c08 patch and everything is okay and everything was ok prior to acquiring that patch as well. I haven't had any CTD's or lockups, etc... I've read lots of posts here and in other forums dedicated to this game, and i see tons of people exp'ing trouble...hmm, not me! Here are my specs: Win XP Home 512 MB RAM 1.0 GHz Proceesor (Intel Celeron) 64 MB Raedon (ATI) Video Card This is a custom system btw...to me store bought systems are a joke...always problems with'em. I find custom systems to be better as you can set them up how you want it, not how the manufacturer wants it. Anyway, just thought i'd let ya'll know i haven't any problems with this game.
