HOLY COW!! What a rough start! First try at a campaign after the reinstall, just pulling away from the dock and the game hangs! Sounds like a broken record playing the same clip of music over and over again. Had to do a ctrl-alt-del to end task. I had other programs running in the background, and some hoe had IM'd me. So I close all other programs and start again. Samething again! But this time, nothing running in the background. So now I'm defraging my C drive and I'll defrag the partition that the game is installed to too! But man oh man I'm not getting a warm and fuzzy here. I have the graphic settings set to high. I figure that my system should be able to handle it. I either meet or exceed the recommended requirements. Think I'll take the dogs for a walk while I wait. I was hoping for a better ending to my weekend!! I'm not giving up yet!
