    have you experienced the same troubles? ...i tried to upgrade drivers and bios, but nothing happens, i can only go through the menu but when i attempt starting a match the game comes back to desktop after loading teams ..

    it's something i don't understand why....i checked around the web for solutions, but it semms it's something "random", literally affected by lots of "conditions" ...

    i've got a nvidia 8600M gt on a T7700 and 2 gb ram ....

    any suggestion? :confused:

    thanks!! :)

    Did you try re-installing?
    There was also an update from Steam for the game a month or two ago.

    I don't think it has anything to do with your specs.

    ya, i didn't try reinstalling it all but i looked around the web and i saw many people complaining about CDT (Crash to desktop...)

    some people experience it during ingame sessions, other when they're going to save the association, and other didn't have a chance to at least try the ingame (people like me...) :eek:

    i do agree it's anything to deal with system specs, it's proven to be a "random" fact ....the hard part comes when you've to face& realize where the issue comes from...that's why i'm asking for symilar config. (ie dell xps or same gpu 8600M gt...)

    ps: go raps go!!! (well....hope for next season to be better then this one...hihi )

    I tried the demo on my 9600m GS (8600M GT) and it worked well . .

    Do you have genuine Nvidia drivers with no overclock?

    I'd suggest deleting any profiles you have, uninstalling, and start from the beginning. My specs are almost the same as yours and I can comfortably max the game out (except for cloth movement) at 1360x768 on my external and play medium high on my laptop at 1600x900.

    ...and I'm with you on the Raptors, nothing can be worse than this season lol.

    i have an hp with a 8600gs card amd i couldnt complete a game until i turned off depth of field
    and now it works flawlessly
    sometimes it slows down and what i do i kill unecessry processes with my task manager.
    it seems like it conflicts with certain processes
    hope that helps

    it helps man :) ...every suggestion you give me helps!

    i tried shutting down useless processes (kaspersky as antivirus, working icons in the background ...), but nothing happens.

    i turned down all fields which could weigh down the game (including depth of field... :( )...nothing new to me.

    thx anyway :)

    could you suggest me some "updates" i might do to be sure i'd have done all the possible to run properly the game?

    i mean, i'm trying to update directx right now, then it'd be useful to know which dirvers you consider the best to run this game, other updates do i care about?

    thx :)
