A little while back I purchased FEAR off Amazon.com because the FEAR 2 demo intrigued me.
The disc arrived in the mail and I put it in my system... DVD drive doesn't read it. I boot into my XP Partition, DVD drive doesn't detect it (The first time I was in Vista).
After trying to change the regional settings on my DVD drive (I believe I have a UK version of the disc, but people tell me PC Games aren't region encoded?) it still doesn't work. I put the disc in my mom's awful laptop, and it reads it no problem! So I rip the ISO of the disc, burn that to a DVD and put the clone disc in my desktop.
The installer loads up and I install the game. Hurray, it's able to run!.... for about 10 minutes.
The game constantly either simply locks up, or it starts to artifact!
HARDWARE:
Core 2 Duo E4400 2.0 Ghz (I OC'd it to 2.5 Ghz)-- TRIED SETTING IT TO STOCK SPEEDS, GAME STILL UNSTABLE
2 GB RAM
8800 GT (Stock speeds)
Dual booting XP (SP2) and Vista
Graphics drivers are up-to-date
If I use the clone of the disc in my Vista partition, the game locks up before it even gets to the main menu.
Anyone have any similar problems or suggestions?
