Did you download the game or buy it? If you downloaded it it could be a problem with the download.

[{I}{K}{E}]

update your DirectX ?

[Kevhead2]

I have a ti 4200 and i cant play it either, it needs a high end card to play

[Skillian]

It plays on my Ti4200 and it should play on his FX 5200 too. It only won't play on MX cards I think.

[mikecwik]

fx is almost like an mx card, just not as shitty

[Kevhead2]

When I first tried playing it. right when the game starts you climb up to the landing above you. You run in some doorways, as soon as i ran in the doorways the whole screen just started swirling different colors. I couldn't see anything but swirling psychedelic colors until it backed out of the doorway I came in

[Skillian]

I've had a couple of graphical glitches, but nothing that bad, and nothing that stops me playing. Do you have the latest NVidia drivers? The only thing I can think of I'm afraid.

I also have a ti4200 and it plays like a dream, even when downloading broadband with kazaa.
Maybe you guys did&#39;nt install your videocard drivers properly.
The best way i&#39;ve found is to set graphics driver as standard pci vga card, and then after restarting comp, i then run the driver install program.
If this is what you do anyway, sorry for the lecture. but i found that this method for upgrading drivers to be the best, so old and new files dont get mixed up.
