hey guys just installed sins on my core2extreme and GTX 8800 Sli card setup and everything went great with installation went into the game played around with settings then i went into the first tutorial and a min or so later the game would just freeze with sound still play in the backround studdering a bit but still goin. I cant do anything so slove it either other than a reboot it would usually happent when i would click on the ''ok'' tabs on the screen to move to the next part of the tutorial. But then i would pop in Sup commander and the game runs great for hours same with C&C3 all setting set on high both games arent much older than sins. So that tells me that it cant be a foulty hardware issue or overheating. Ive tried a few suggestions one would be to turn off bloom and the other to turn all the settings to low and see wat happens well same thing .. It really stinks i absolutely love strategy games and dis one just looks crazy so its frustrating not being able to get into it. PLZ help btw all my drivers on all parts are up to date i have even tried to beta invidia drivers and still the same thing. I ran 3Dmark and passed with a kickin score.
