I am having a problem with the game. I installed it and ran the patch but when I start the game up everything looks fine except for the text. The text is not showing up at all and it looks like its covered by boxes wherever there is text. HELP PLEASE. Does anyone know anything about this problem?


Thanks....

I am replying to my original message. A friend of mine found out what the probelm was. It is a direct X issue with Windows XP. There is a patch for Direct X that fixes the problem (supposedly). The link to that file is: http://download.microsoft.com/download/whistler/Patch/Q306676/WXP/EN-US/Q306676_WXP_SP1_x86_ENU.exe

This is for the english version....


Hopefully this resolves the issue....:clap:

The problem you might be having may have to do with the option of turning the trails off in the video options. Try that.
