Gigabyte 965P-DQ6 - 6-Quad M/board
4GB duel kit
ATI HD5970 2GB GDDR5 Memory, PCI E - 16

Can you please help me with this.

That allowed me to play for the longest I've been able to so far: five seconds. Progress!

I used 64bit.
Maybe Vista and 32bit problem.
Try to play abit with the settings?

What part of the settings do i play with? I have no idea.

Like in first Post but this is a low mem cfg.

i will give it a try and see if it starts the game at least.

I tried that setting but the same thing happened, still can't load the game.

I updated the first topic, the CFG Will work now better again.

2GB Version

Not help ((

TWU did u update too 11.10v2?

The Link is in the first post 1 Step

I have to start the game once, quit it again.
