Default Fix for XP failure to load mission problem

Hi

Just thought I would post this in case anyone else using XP has got same issue as me.

Had the game for 2 days, not been able to fly as all missions (except one) lock up in the loading phase.

13. Q: I am running Windows XP. All missions stop loading at 95% and never complete.

A: Your memory is too low to fully load landscape with grass. Please go to Options - Video - Show Advanced and uncheck Grass. This will allow the game to fully load.
(automatic fix is on the way)


After 6 years of development, why they cant display a simple message box, saying "memory too low to load mission" is beyond me.

I am all for pushing the envelope a bit on PC specs to make a game future proof, but this game has taken it too far. Needing such a monstrous PC to make the game playable is very frustrating. OK now I have found the grass fix, I am off to see what my FPS are, or maybe that should read seconds per frame are ?

Regards Geoff
