Hi.
Today I installed the game and patched it directly after install.
The first thing that happened was that the game froze in the beginning of the launch (EA, Cryengine 3, Nvidia "the way its meant to be played" etc etc...) and the computer became SUPER slow. (it took me 10 minutes to Ctrl-Alt-Delete and then I had a 60 second delay on all my actions)

In the end I had to yank out the power from the PC as the machine just wouldn't do ****.

I have tried to download the game using EADM but with the same result.
Anyone else experience that problem?

anyone? (BUMP)

I got the same problem and i have tryed eveything i can think of, but it still go cold doing startup.

put this in your system.cfg file .....
g_skipIntro = 1

Only problem now is a freezing outro. So i had to use youtube for watching it...
