Solutions have been found. I just carved out a 6 gig partition, and I'll set up a dual boot with 2k pro this weekend.

Holy Christ.....how much juice does this fucker need to run?

2.8ghz P4 doesn't seem to be enough for this puppy to run smoothly at 1280X1024.

Beautiful graphics though.....but still....I can't even imagine running this game at anything under 2.5ghz.....it barely runs at eye candy quality on Recommended specs.

Did anyone else also have a 49 minutes long Installation? 49 minutes??? Damn.

But so far looks good besides the rude ass fucker employees and anti-social guards...I hope they die, all of em.

IC how much ram you have? You really need 512 to start and 1 gig to run at higher resolutions.

512...oh I see why now.

Oh well...I had to scarifice and run at 1158X1078 at medium quality. Still looks gorgeous though but runs a lot smoother.

Does anyone also notice how many cheap deaths this game has. I understand that darkness is an important tool employed in the game but when strong enemies appear out of nowhere it really gets annoying.

Have you tried 'tweaking' your gamma?

No, its not that.

The game forces you into darkness as a scare tactic...many rooms lights go out as soon as you enter them and many rooms have been ravaged by monsters so they have no lights to begin with....you're suppose to use a flashlight but I am too lazy I guess.

yeah. they assume you're switching from weapon to flashlight and vice versa the entire time. fucking creepy sometimes though...:D

If need be, I think I could give the old, used, unwanted motherboard, CPU, RAM, cooling hardware and video card a good, loving home... you know, if you're just going to toss it out on the street.

512 MB RAM, and it runs quite nicely with all the spanglies turned on. A little hesitattion when opening new rooms, but not much at all.

I think your CPU and Video card are going to be more of a contributor than you might think.

Unfortunately, my curse remains. 30 minutes of FPS play, and I'm nauseous...

This game rocks, though i think it's kind of repetative. It runs quite nicely on 640x480 on medium, these are my specs:
P4 2.4Ghz Northwood
Kingston 512mb DDRAM PC3200
HiS Radeon 9600 128MB
