Hi from Marco in Italy.
I have this absolute problem... as soon as the game starts, in etha main menu, it locks up with a hum sound it the headspeakers... I already checked for new drivers, but they are already up to date, and this is the only game to have problems...
Asus P4PE with 1GB
P IV 3.06
Ati radeon 9700 pro
Sound Blaster Audigy player 2
MS Sidewinder force feedback
Logitech wireless mouse and keyboard...
I will try to post the debug.err.
