Can you explain "got to run"? Do you mean doesn't even start up or do you mean you get low fps and it's choppy?
The demo runs great on my computer. It's the current one in my sig with the ECS board.

Thanks

demos run

Both demos ran fine. It's the retail game that won't run/start.
I've contacted T/S at Dreamcatcher and I'm still wating for a reply. I've done all they say to do but it won't run. Just wondering if anyone out there had any ideas that worked to get this thing to run. I'm not looking to just randomly troubleshoot it. From what I've read it's a software issue with the game and they said they were addressing it. Thing is I bought this on the way home from a electro-physiology study in the hospital and figured if I was to be home recuperating then this would give me something to do. I was wrong.
WAH!

I didn't have any problems with it.

What catalyst drivers are you running, and what O/S?

error #1: [string"../Data/LScripts/Main/Cfg.lua"]:255:attempt to call global 'GetCDLabel' (a nil value) Press "Retry" to Debug.

#2: [string"../Data/LScripts/HUD/PainMenu.lua"]:9:attempt to index global 'TXT' (a nil value) Press "Retry" to Debug.

I did get the CD Emulation error,ran that fix to no avail, and talked to tech support. When they finished I ended up with these errors.

So I sent in a tech support form.

Thanks
Don

Are you talking about the demo? Or the actual game?
