    Curse LLC - more than 280 firms have access to data on our pcs while visiting CFC

It owns Curse, which is responsible for serving up ads on CFC. The Cookie notice originates from Wikia (not...

    [BNW] Frequent And Intermittent Crashing

    With some resolutions, the screen colors are all washed out. With others, the display is corrupt: Most of the screen is black. A few elements scroll diagonally across the screen. I think the problem is with my TV, which serves as the monitor.

    [BNW] Frequent And Intermittent Crashing

    My system has the same CPU and video card. I don’t get ctds, but I can’t run the game at the highest graphic settings. Try changing the in-game screen resolution. I use 2048x1536, 30 Hz. HTH.
