I cant run the game, it worked once but that was the only time the game ran.

When i launch it plays the AMD intro vid then crashes saying the .exe has stopped working. Other people are also getting the same problem, and they all happen to be HD 5850 users who got the game bundled with the sapphire 5850.

Anyone else getting this problem? Installing the ATI driver hotfix only made the intro video pixleated and didnt solve anything.

The game has been nothing but a flawless experience for me. Smooth sailing at 5760x1080 everything maxed

I use the 9.11 drivers. I think some people are not letting the game fully install before clicking the EXE.

If your having issues I would wait untell the official release (and correct way to download) before yelling at Codemasters or anyone.

YELLING IS FUN!!!

game doesn't even need to be installed, did a small test, moved the folder to another machine, and it just runs

those people that downloaded the game through steam, none of them actually "intalled" it. it just downloaded the files

the install script didn't run, and if you have all drivers correct, and all the requied redist (directx, live, c+ 2008 et...) it will run fine, steam doesn't even have to be on

there are more people complaining about game issues with ati card, maybe the reason for delay is that ATI is working on some quick hotfix.
