Thanks for your reply Royraiden. I have been able to install 4.0 eventually and now just have a minor problem....most times the Launcher is unreliable and I have to look around in the Steam site to see if anything is amiss. Then, about the third try, CloD will Launch. I'm now working on getting my Controls set up. If you have any quick words of wisdom about the erratic Launcher, any advice would be much appreciated. ~S~

Launch Steam before you start the game. Does that make the difference?

Your graphics card is not good, in fact is it very much low end. I'm not convinced it'll handle the game very well, if at all, especially at the resolution you are asking it to do.

You can see it comes in at the basement end in this chart, the "under $100" range, and scores lower than the GTX295 which frankly won't run the game.

Well, I do launch Steam from the shortcut and then click Play......but this is my first experience with Steam so the jury is still out on my Startup procedure, will have a closer look.
Have managed to download 4.00 and have gotten into Single-Player....
Quite a shock that my 3.5-yr-old graphics card might be a problem...also will watch that closely for problems.
Seems OK in Single-Player but have only had a chance to try it out once.....and also will try lowering my res.

Well, OK guys, new motherboard new graphics card more ram and will give this another try. Launched the game thru Steam and the mod insignia shows up but the tired-face screen and a 1.11 text tells me the patches need to be installed again. I will find the Wee Tutorial here on the forum and use my (saved) 3 patches to get it going, and hope to see you on TS3 soon. ~S~

Wiggs, i think that Osprey has read your specs wrong, i had a 560ti that was'nt all that hot, so upgraded to a 670 2g, and is a very good card, i see you are above me so your card is better than mine, no need to change, you can see where Os has made a mistake by quoting 100$, your card is in the region of 300$. Whats your m/board? B.

No Baron, he had a pile of crap but as you can see has upgraded:

I have a 560Ti and I run nearly maxed out with decent frames, it's fine. When I upgrade it'll just be better :)
