I have a single core 2.0ghz cpu but the rest of my specs are fine, it looks like single cores cause some serious graphical issues with this game.
Myself and a number of others on the other forum have the same symptoms with different hardware , nvidia , ati etc. The only thing in common is the single core.
All effects like explosions , splashes and smoke run at 1fps while the rest of the game runs at 25 fps at the same time.
The game must be coded to distribute the work over 2 cores and when only one is used it either cant keep up or it just isnt set up to work with only one core.

I have bought a dual core to upgrade and will keep this thread updated.
