Hello all, I would really like to become a new player however no matter how many times I download and install when I start the game it will not show anything. I hit the play button and my cursor changes to the game one, I hear the music play and the voices start, but there is no video, my screen doesn't change at all I am still looking at the launcher sitting on top of my background. I have tried to disable the start up video, I have tried disabling my virus protect, firewalls, even un-installed the g-force platform (not the video drivers though). I am hoping someone out there can lend me a helping hand, as I would really like to play this game. Thank you all in advance for any information you can send my way.
Welcome! I have to say that I like the cut of your jib so far. If you've already tried re-installing the game and that isn't working, then most likely your problem is hardware rather than software. What does your system look like? RAM is of particular import.
For starters, do you have the latest driver installed for your video card? Also, does your computer meet the minimum requirements?
