If none of the above works, just start from scratch. Delete the game directory, backup the 1csoftclub folder or just save your controller config and then do a clean installation of the game.

I had to do this after trying an early beta patch as performance went down the toilet and steams integrity check or deleting cache etc. would not fix it.

Edit: Ooops completely missed the second page, well if it's not a driver issue then try reinstalling the game :oops:

Thx Buchon, for your help..

I followed directions but in game is a flickering mess..

Everything else runs fine... :confused:

Dunno.

Reinstall game?
Doesn't seem like a likely fix, tho..

Actually, I think I'll try reinstall. I had Tried the beta myself. Could be sum thing quirky I suppose.

The game in DX9 is just a mess.

The game runs fast and looks better in DX10 than in DX9, the shadows that you can see in the videos, and the graphic quality, is done under DX10.

You should put that card under DX10, but is only available in Windows 7, and Vista but avoid it :rolleyes:

I suggest you upgrade to Windows 7 64-bits as soon is possible to unleash the power of that card.

Might be time for a new rig then..

I am gonna try a reinstall. DL ing now.

As I stated earlier. I got a taste of the game last weekend with shadows off. It was wicked cool IMO.
Cant wait til it's all up an running.

I dont think that you need upgrade your system to install Windows 7.

Im running it just now with my dual core and 4 GB of RAM.

This game need DX10, I forced the game to use DX9 in my system, to see if runs fast but contrary as how should be it is slower :confused:

I guess the DX9 mode is not optimized.

You will gain FPS just upgrading to Windows 7, and it will looks better.

Watch this thread for example :

We actually have similar specs. I have duo core. 4 gb ram. (I think..)

I'll try Win 7.


Thx brutha

It will help. XP has known issues with new NV cards in this game.

Yaaaay...

Upgraded to Win 7 and Nvidia GTX569tsi and I am running pretty smooth with shadows enabled...

Thx everybody... your coolness is duly noted..

This is your problem. The game runs like cr*p on XP.

You should upgrade to Windows 7 ASAP.

Well I upgraded to Win 7 and the GeForce GTX 560 and I can now enjoy this game with shadows. Thanks for the help everybody!
