Lost: Via Domus that is..
here's my setup, is this enough info.. 2.8 gig pentium D 1 gig of RAM ATI Radeon X1550 Graphics Card it says in the game manual that '2.4+ processor, 1GB RAM, ATI Radeon X1300-1950' should do it. my PC *should* work. i just bought the video card so i could play this game. i eventually had to turn every option all the way down, all the settings, everything.. otherwise it just didn't work. it's playable but it's still glitchy, and it can crash out of nowhere. now i'm at area that hangs up 100% of the time.. can't get past it. i don't get it. i hate this crap. now what do i need to buy.. more memory? a better video card? an xbox? is it a software thing (bios, directx, patch, etc)? would installing Vista help? this is driving me nuts... :yankingouthair: |

that must be the minimum requirements. You need better hardware for it to run at max levels.
Try testing it here by selecting the game from the drop down list. http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/referrer/srtest

Is the card AGP, PCI, or PCIe? You should have spent about $80 or so and got a decent vid card like an 8600gt.
