    i have sager laptop 2ghz core duo 2gb ram, 7900gtx 256mb vram. before game starts it asks me to instal nvidia forceware 163.44 in order to play game. i tried but i can because it tells me that drivers are not compatible with hardware that i have. so i tried to skip and run game. when it gets to main menu i cant see fonts. i assumed that first button is start game or so but after i hit it , game would eventually crash. could anyone help?

    You need to go to laptopvideo2go.com and download the drivers AND ALSO the .inf file. Extract the drivers and replace the new .inf file with the one with the one in the folder. Now it will let you install the latest drivers.

    well that didnt help either. i do not actually have problem with game crushing. in main menu i just see buttons but no text. what is also rely weird is that when installing game asks me to have 12gb of disk space. so i had ready 12gb on my e drive. than it asked me to also have 7,7gb on c drive. i passes but eventually game didnt install in directory that i picked on e drive but it made 8gb installation on c drive. this is really rediculous an iam getting really pissed. has actually someone played this game on laptop. is it really worth it? i palyied crysis couple days ago and didnt have single problem, if this game is not at least the same quality than just f... it.
