Can't even play

[michael40993]

So I got this game, installed it, entered my activation key, and it doesn't work.

First, I am forced to enter my nickname, gamespy email adress, and password. I do this, and it says that I could not connect to the server, and to check my network connections. Obviously, my internet is hooked up, because if it wasn't, how could I be posting this message here?

So I try making an offline account. The account creation process worked fine. I press "New game", and it loads for about 5 seconds, and I start hearing some sound effects. Then the game keeps changing my screen resolution over and over again. I let it change my resolution over and over again, for about 5 minutes, then I ALT + F4 the game.

I try playing the game again. My screen resolution changes to the game resolution, then it changes back to my desktop resolution, then nothing happens - I am back to the desktop. I try again, same result. The game fails to launch.

Specs:

7800GTX
2GB RAM
AMD 4000

How do I fix these problems?

Had the game for two days and ive had so many problems with it, its been like banging my head against a brick wall.

I had the same start up problem you mentioned and founbd the answer on these forums, go into control panel and disable your soundcard's gameport. Cant help with the other issues im afraid :noooo: .
