Just purchased the game and began playing - immidiately I was having a problem with my video card. The game would 'freeze' and stop responding, only to come back a few seconds later. I would be dumped to the desktop where the little ATI software suite told me the VPU had stopped responding.

I have a 9600 pro with 128 megs of memory, AMD 64 3500, gig of RAM - havent had any similar problems with the machine. I downloaded the new drivers and turned off AA entirely, still the same problem.

One last thing - the problem is pretty regular with regards to timing. It will stop responding with what I think is the same amount of elapsed time just about every time. It seems to be within about 5 - 7 minutes of starting the game. I also checked my card physically - it is functioning properly (fan works ). I play some other games and dont have these kinds of problems. Any help would be appreciated.
