So, get IGI.
It kept bombing out back to Windows during the very first movie sequence, so I couldn't even get into the game proper. Even trying to skip the cut scene with the Escape key put me straight back to Windows.
And yes, my PC more than meets the requirements!
I have an SR MAXX PC - P3 500MHz, 128Mb RAM, Creative Voodoo Banshee graphics card and Creative Soundblaster Live! sound card. I had DirectX 7.0a and even updated it to DirectX 8 to see if that solved the problem - it didn't.
It's possibly a driver problem, but I have the latest drivers for both the graphics and sound cards, and I'm not going to buy new cards for one game!
Just so you know...
> where have you been?
All over the place. I was born in Aldershot, then we moved to Reigate, then, being an Army brat, I lived in Rheindalehn, Germany for 4 years before going over to Lurgan in N.I. for 7 years. Then we moved to Southport, then Somerset, then Warminster in Wiltshire where I finished my schooling. Then I worked in Frome, Bath, Bristol, Crawley, Becton E6, Feltham TW12, back to Bath, then moved to Bristol again where I've been ever since.
More recently, I've just come back upstairs after making a coffee in the kitchen, and I am currently sitting here typing this reply.
I got IGI a while ago, and haven't had any problems with it (I know a mate who has though). I've only played a demo of Hitman, but from what I've seen of the two I definately prefer IGI.
They have been in touch saying they are looking through the rental contract and will be in touch shortly if they think there is any chance of taking action against vigo, and what price this action maybe.
I will post here as soon as there is a reply from them.
