Ok I hope the info is enough. When I start the game from the very 1st level, the game freezes, makes a stuttering sound, resumes to normal and starts again!!!. It kinda happens everytime I make a movement like walking, jumping etc...I tried everything like lowering the texture detail and I set all the settings to low but still the problem occurs. Its very annoying tat it happens about every 10 secs or so.

Can anyone help? Thanx...

Yep, I`ve updated the drivers but still doesn`t solve the problem. Then, when I played just now, there`s this msg saying "A.I. Disabled" and the characters are not moving at all. They are like statues! what happened?

Pls help me..pls...!!!!

You need to get a legal copy of the game. :|

From those symptoms, why would it be an illegal copy?
