3 or 4 days later, I lost count, my brain is fried, I got a reply email from Lucas Arts Tech Support about my problems with Armed & Dangerous. They told me my graphics card wasnt supported by the game. Duh, I knew that, but guess what? The game works with that card just the same as it does for the supported cards, its full of bugs. Yes, I went out and bought 2 new graphic cards emediatly after sending out my email to Lucas Arts. One had the Invida chipset, the other ATI. One of these freagin things, I thought has to make the game stop from quiting out to the windows desktop every five minutes, or during crucial saves and level loads. But no! The game just looks better when it decides to do this. No error messages, no black or blue screens of death, just drop right out of game play to staring at a prestine grassy knoll which is what you see after a clean re-install of WinXP. I've even tried loading this game up on a brand new 2.3 ghz laptop to no avail as well. I really want this game to work for some reason, even though I have little time to play it. I guess it has become my latest ambition just to get the game to run. Hell, I've spent over $300 in upgrades just to get it to install on one machine, no luck yet. I may have to Email lucas arts again. I think it could really use some update patches. Below is my Reply without my system info: Hi again Lucas Arts Tech, Thanks for the advice, I went out and bought two new Graphic Cards to try with Armed & Dangerous. They both seemed to have helped some with the game dropping out during game play. One has the Nvida GeForce FX 5200 chipset, the other ATI Radeon 9600 series. They both look like they are on your supported list for WinXP with Armed & Dangerous, yet I still get periodic dropouts, not as often and has been dealable up until the level after called Clear The Road. The level after Clear The Road gets about halfway through loading and drops out every time. I can not load this level for anything. I've switched out cards, hopeing it was that but no go with either card. Also, the ATI Radeon 9600 series locks up the game when in Options mode in the game and clicking on selections. Saves are also an often problem during game play, the game quits during the save and a corrupt restore is then offered which has to be deleted and the game restarted from the first level. Major bummers! I seem to have met all the requirements now, or would more memory help for the load of the level after Clear The Road? Or a re-install of the game, what would help this problem? Below are a couple of my new Diags to help you help me. P.S. I prefere the GForce card, not quite as good as the ATI one, but a lot cheaper and I did purchase the game from a retail store so if you need registration to further help I can get that info to you to, if needed. I really have enjoyed the game when its been playable so far. Thanks!
