hi im just interested to find out how many people have had problems with this game crashes during loading , freezing at begining of levels and if so has anyone found a fix:confused:
 
Yup, all the time :D

I've found that you need to run it with settings on medium, otherwise it will freeze in the game. And for me, unless its on medium with AA off, it will freeze.

But I still get crashes every now and then when it's loading or when i switch weapons or something. I hope they come out with updates to fix it.
 
i only had isses when i took my single channel ram out to make it 1 gig of dual channel then i was getting errors like there's no tomorrow but when i put back the 768 mbs of single channel then it works fine
 
From what I hear it's a memory problem, and it's much worse when graphics are on high (on some PC's). As I said, hopefully they'll release an update to fix it, since it is a brand new game.
 
personnaly i think to release a game that is proving unplayable is a sign that ubisoft only care about the profit line and not the customers if the specified game requirements stated are followed when purchasing a game then it should work well enough to be played expecialoly as this game with steam takes hour or more to to install .
 
I agree with you meanman, even the demo was unstable.

And Dark Messiah is a 10GB download! Not including the MP, so it takes more then an hour.
 
Steam released an update for Dark Messiah, with quite a few fixes. Heres a complete list:
