Yep second that brother.

It's really got on my tits how they have the nerve to produce a game
that is at the level it is at. I understand software is very complex
(sheesh I am a developer myself) and I also understand that it is very
difficult to take account of everyone's video cards/cpu combinations
etc.

However, it can't be sooo hard that it is impossible, because I have
been able to run many games straight out of the box - such as
HalfLife2, Quake4 etc.

Jeez ....
