Downloaded the demo with TrueDownloader in like 14 minutes (thanx for the tip, Ace!) and installed the game just fine, including the DX9c update and the included latest NVidia drivers. Whenever I try to run it, the full screen goes black, then it pops back to about an 800x600 black "window" in the upper left of the screen, then it drops back to the desktop.
Check Task Manager and nothing's running in Applications and seemingly nothing new in Processes. The only other game I have any crashing problems with at all are Chronicles of Riddick, which crashes to the desktop about every hour or so ... usually when I'm going into a menu ingame. Doom3 +RoE, HL2, NBA Live 2005, Far Cry, all these run flawlessly with nary a hiccup.
EA says the game isn't recommended for earlier drivers than the ones they bundled (GPU=BFG 6800 OC w 128mb; rest of setup in sig).
Any ideas?
