Bought this cracking game last week, and it really is a top class game. However, everynow and then i have had a few problems with it. Sometimes it will freeze on the load screen just before a mission, other times while im playing the screen will totally close and leave me back on my desktop and completely close the game, which im sure you will agree is mighty annoying when im about to finish off a mission.

At first it wasnt such a bad thing as it didnt happen in important places, but now that the missions are harder and longer, it crashing half way through isnt such a good thing.

Anyone else had these problems?

Anyone know if theres something i can do to stop it?

It says not to have ANY programmes running in the background. I have about three, but whatever you have running might be causing the problems

Try turning of Hardware Transform and Lighting in the Setup menu. That makes the game much smoother. That certainly makes the menu screen smoother, and often avoids crashing. Other than that, try not to bring up your city map when there's lots of cars/people on screen, because that can crash the game. If that doesn't work, wait for official patches to be released by the developer.

I sometimes have that problem. Only thing I could think doing it is virus check or another program running in the background.
Happens rarely just as a mission starts.

Check the website of the game, might have some help guides for such problems
