Plus..i've just upgraded my computer for a kick ass model but it's nowhere near good enough for SH5...Mega dissapointed..

SH5..what a load of crap!...back to SH3 for me...
Your computer or internet connection must be crap cause Im not actually running a kickass pc but it runs sh5 fine on high settings and it takes about 30 seconds to load up from the moment I click on the sh5 icon.

Intel dual core 5130
nvidia 9800gt 512mb
4gigs of ram
Windows 7 Ultimate Ed, 64bit (without sp1)
antivirus disabled while playing sh5

Is this what you meant about taking ten minutes to start after downloading the update? If so, yeah it is annoying, but quitting out early caused me no end of trouble so be patient and let it do its thing
Actually thats right..That is what i did and thats why i did a re-install..The problem persists though as it was the same with the second install and that time i touched nothing.....It eventually got into the game but yeh...the framerate was terrible, so much as to be totally unplayable..It was a fresh install..No mods.

Hahaa...i regret using the term "kick ass computer".....and maybe your'e right..i don't know..I just know SH5 is unplayable for me..

Anyway thanks for the help guys but after reading the SH5 official feedback thread from this url:
http://forums.ubi.com/eve/forums/a/frm/f/1121062387

i don't think i'm going to bother....from what i've read the game is unredeemable even with mods if it's a simulator your'e interested in......and next time i'll do myself a favour and wait until theres plenty of feedback before i invest in SH6 (if i'd have read the feedback for SH5 a few weeks ago i wouldn't have bothered buying the game...)

I had expected SH5 to be like SH3+GWX with up to date graphics and maybe a few more thrills..and calling home on start up everytime is ..yeh....i'm not interested in that at all

That 9500 isn't up to it, or up to any sort of gaming for that matter. Get a proper graphics card; problem solved.

Chuckles and shrugs....maybe, maybe not....i don't know......certainly don't have any problems with anything else and considering others have told of their lesser spec graphic cards that run SH5 well......shrugs again......still...as mentioned...the subject is mute. I've uninstalled SH5 now and won't be reinstalling it..

Still, the rest of that PC is up to gaming. At least trade up to a 9800GT or something. Though even those are nearing the end of their usefull lifespan. :/

* at any rate, if you want to buy a new game that is more demanding in the future, remember that that card is the weakest part in there.
