Well I would like to say hello to everyone for the first time, after reading a few reviews and playing the demo I finally bought the game a few days ago and am very pleased so far with the detail to gameplay and story. Alas here are my problems. The game randomly crashes on me and I get a loud distortion through the speakers for no reason every once in a while. I cant play in direct 3d mode cause the test goes all black and nothing happens. Does anyone know why it could be crashing or why the sound does that? I am in directdraw mode cause its the only one that works. BTW what does ALPHABIT do? Should I enable it?
