    Yeah, I have no problem running it on 7.

    Something you all probably don't know is that him and Clint Eastwood fended off an attack from robot
    ninjas and saved OT. Thanks Chessmaster! (And Clint Eastwood ) - DJ-Lafleur
    That's all well and good in practice, but how does it work in theory?

    Yeah, I have no problem running it on 7.

    Since we have this thread going. Has anyone had any issues running the game on ATi 4xxx and 5xxx cards? Running on a 5850 on Win7, I've been getting very poor performance, and it's very inconsistent. I was previously running it on a 4670 on WinXP and it ran perfectly fine at 1080p. On my 5850 and Win7 though it actually runs a bit worse.

    Yeah but i am replaying it right now and it kinda stuck on some parts because of quadcore, so set it up to run in one core just to be safe.

    EA: "Digital distrubution is too expensive"

    They make their very own origin, dont have to pay valve anything to host their games, dont have to pay for shipping or make boxed copies. They pull all games off seam and put them on origin for 60 bucks. Also no"Steam deals" because it "cheapens the price of intelectual property"

    They call call of duty annual release "tiring" they are the ones who came up with releasing one medal of honor game every year but stopped becaue they couldnt deliver quality products.

    They dont make dungeon keeper, system shock and syndicate games because they cant sell them to console gamers but they take horror outt of dead space 3 because it has to sell 5 million to survive.

    Boycott ea and their corporate lies.

    How'd you do that? Outside of Process Affinity, I'm not aware of anything like that in Win7.

    There was a program on xp called set affinity but i dont see why you cant just ran the game, alt tab on the main menu and set it in the task manager and process affinity.

    I encountered a weird issue where the fps was insanely low and I had to disable some USB devices to get it back up. I have the retail version with all patches. Once I disabled the devices, it ran fine though, very smooth.
