There are two patches out for the game, 1.001 and 1.003. The second patch just came out, and comes in four flavors; US, non US, US from 1.001, non US from 1.001.

You should be able to find them at most of the game file sites.

I kind of expect they haven't fully addressed the crashing but i'll certainly be giving that a go - I hope this patch doesn't invalidate your save games like the first one.

At first I didn't like the poor accuracy, but as you progress you get better guns... more accurate guns. Since then I have been enjoying it so far, even only on med settings.

I actually find the guns pretty much the best part of the game - there are loads of them with the correct ammo types etc. and they're well modeled - the accuracy is believable and you get ricochet and gun jams. one thing I dont like is that I think they've mirrored the actual gun models so that the brass ejects across your face - thats just stupid, plus it means some of the scopes are slanted off to the right rather than the left... retarded.

Due to crashes and just plain laziness, I couldn't pass the part where you have to travel through the underground tunnel to steal the documents in that base. I eventually just sat down and told myself that I wouldnt stop playing until I beat that part. I did and am very happy I did because now the game got much more interesting. New guns are popping up everywhere. Thanks to the new patch , I can finally do the mission with The Duty where you infiltrate the Freedom base.

[Phantom118]

actually I played the game from start to finish and every mission twice and never had it crash on me.

 

[MrCoffee]

what I get tonnes of look like actual code errors - Access violations in the main .exe or .dll's things like frustrum:: polyclip()+125 and that sort of mumbo.

You think it might be because I dont have the latest version of .net?

I'd estimate i've had in excess of 200 crashes so far.

I also get weird performance variation - One minute it'll be running at about 20 fps then in exactly the same area and conditions i'll be getting 100-200 fps

 

[Phantom118]

I can't say I've had the FPS problem, Does your PC meet all the requirements?

 

[MrCoffee]

how can it be a performance issue if my standard fps is around 100-200fps?, its not like the frame rate is dropping when there is more stuff on the screen it just does it totally randomly and only for like 30seconds every 5mins.
