    Crash Error?

    Well whenever I click the game to start it up, the screen goes black like it's ready to play and then a blue screen pops up with a bunch of text on it. That goes away after about a second and my computer restarts. I meet/exceed all system requirements, and I've tried everything else on their troubleshooting list, so what's wrong?

    I know there was a bad batch of video drivers for Nvidia a few months back that created similar issues.

    What are your system specs?

    it's little older, but still could be a similar issue...


    - Game freeze & Graphical corruption
    Ensure your video drivers are up-to-date.
    a. Go to Start
    b. Run
    c. Typ "dxdiag" (without "")
    d. Check your DirectX version is 9.0c (4.09.....)
    e. Go to 3rd tab. (Display)
    f. There is a date in this tab.
    g. If it's fairly old your drivers are not up to date.
    h. Update the drivers and everything works fine.
    i. If you dont know what videocard you've got, you can find it in the 3rd tab.
    j. Download -> Install the drivers. And dont forget to reboot your pc!!
    NOTE: You may need to download and install tweaked drivers from your video card resellers site, eg. from the ASUS site rather than ATI.
    NOTE2: Some people have resolved their CTD issues by rolling back to the last driver available especially nvidia drivers back to 9.13!

    Resolves many issues with video lag, game freeze & CTD.

    Re: Crash Error?

    Which updates? Video Card or Game?

    For the Card go to the Nvidia

    The game check out one of these:
    Filefront
    EA Large Downloads

    EDIT: Keep in mind that the quote above is over a year old, so the drivers listed are not necessarily the correct ones.

    I was talking about the driver updates, thanks ^_^

    I'm not 100% if I chose the right Product Series, but I think I got it down...

    Yeah I can't promise this will do the trick, but it is the first step in any trouble shooting a PC problem. First check your drivers and setting, second check for virus and spy-ware. Third reinstall the program etc...

    Ehh... I can't seem to get the right driver... if it's not too much to ask, can you check out the nVIDIA website and tell me which one you think I need?

    Re: Crash Error?

    This is why I use ATI...

    It looks like they recomend you check with the notebook manufacturer as they only provide the chip not the graphics system...
