Before even releasing this game:

-Same thing..
My RIG surpassed the recom settings by 2x.. updated drivers(windows/non windows)..
uninstalled VLC(because of the CODECS excuses.. so I've used the latest windows codecs for the WMP)

-service pack 3 winXP.
-ATHLON X2
-ATI HD5600+ series of vid cards on "TWO COMPUTERS".
-4GB ram ddr2

-THE GAME WON'T RUN...

Tsk2x.. I was expecting much from this game..
and gave me this crap..
