    I believe you can find it over here on the M17x Wiki site. Thanks to Joker and Grim.

    I just finished BBC2. The CTD were driving me insane. Sometimes it would only run on one card too. Got through it though. Great game, and left it wide open for a sequel.

    Yep I played through it 2wice :p :D
    Awesome game.
    I can't wait to get my hands on BLACK OPs OLes!

    Luckily the 2nd time around I only ran into the CTDs because of the new drivers and wat not. So I didn't have to endure the CTDs that much! Phew! Before that I was still running on the older drivers and vbios.

    Cheers. :)
