    I will wait for Resident Evil 6 I find games like this end up being pointless halfway through & before you know it your weekend is gone and its back to work in the morning.

    Does anyone else have problems with the game randomly freezing..??

    It keeps freezing randomly for a few seconds,screen goes blank and then becomes normal & playable again, I think the video driver is crashing and recovering in the backgrounds coz when i go back to desktop or into another game, I get artifacts similar to when the driver crashes then recovers.
    Running Cat 11.8

    Nope... runs fluid smooth for me, with all the settings maxxed via edit of the .SCR file - also using 11.8

    There is a utility for the game now, to add settings not in the options screen...

    ^^ can't get that to work either, with/without admin privileges, with/without read only.

    Burning my GPU is deterring me from playing this game TBH.

    I don't have any such GPU issues. Hottest I get is 69C and my fans stay at normal speeds, I haven't touched the .SCR file.
