Prince of Qin was another game with this problem. sadly, it was because the patches were fixing the multiplayer game, ended up breaking the single player game which had no problem at the beginning. finally it seems fixed but i haven't played it in a while, after my 3rd restart, i've left off again. will get back to it eventually. it is a fun game. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
