Been lurking on this forum well before SH3 ever came out. Finally it got there but my PC wasn't up to it. So now finally i have a kick-ass pc, so i ran off to the local shop to get my copy of SH3.

Well what do you know... somehow the game is messed up. Splashscreens (the UBI-logo and the intromovie) are looking like 'fractals', weird colors, all dithering and stuff. And the game keeps crashing, either to desktop if i'm lucky or a total reboot at the worst. Anyone having ideas how to fix this? I'm really desperare afther waiting for soooooooooo long...

Specs
WinXP pro
proc: AMD X2 dual core 4200+
2048MB Ram
Direct X 9.0 c
Radeon 850XT, driver version 6.14.0010.6599
Audio on board (tried lowering the hardware acceleratoion:no luck)
HD's 2x samsung 160GB RAID mode 0 (striping)
1x 160GB seperated form backups.

Is this an issue with the DVD? I've installed the latest patch from UBI, but still no luck.

Any help would be extremely appreciated...
