Much as I feel the pain of the XP users if you're getting 3fps and even an eventual CTD you're doing better than my attempts to run it in XP.

I'm only doing it out of curiosity to see what the min specs would deliver but on both my old boxes it won't even start, just the cross hairs then back to desktop.

Box1 AMD 3800+/2Gb/7800GT/XP/Dx9
Box2 P4 dual core 3GHz/2Gb/6600/XP/Dx9

I know the GPUs probably wont run it but it should at least get me to the game menus.

Frankly if getting it running on XP with Dx9 is going to mean destroying its basic qualities for Win7/Dx10-11 users I'd rather they just declared XP unsuitable, bit the bullet on refunds and got on with it.
