Hi

Ok to start let me say that I think this game was released without proper testing and that i am a very disappointed customer.

I bought the game and tried to install it a couple of times on both of my drives but all that happened was that the CD drives made a bit of noise and that was it, so i went to many different forums and found out that i had to buy a new drive. So now i managed to install the game and when i tried to start it it told me to put in the CD into my drive,but the CD was allready in the drive so i went back to the forums and found out that it was because of the CD protection and that i had to use a third partytool called sd4hide.exe. I downloaded it and activated it and tried to start the game, i was really happy for a little bit when i saw that it didnt ask me for the CD anymore and i saw a loading screen in many languages, but thats all i saw because nothing else happened after that.So back i went to the forums and andread that there is a genral problem with ATI cards and that i had to use a tool too unpack a file to my assests forlder, i did that and started the game again an to my surprise it started, i could see the intro, see the main options menu and could setup a game which i also did, so the game loaded and it started and 2 seconds later i get a black screen as if there were a resolution problem with my monitor. I have tried many different things now and every time the game starts i get the black screen and the comp crashes. Anybody know how to fix this?

P.S as a paying customer i should not have to spend days trying to fix this game myself.
