When I load this game, Seam version, I reverify integrity of the game, comes back normal. I play it and at the first eyeball logo, the mouse starts slowing down, like it's not registering all the input, Then it locks. When it locks, the whole system hard locks.
This started about two weeks ago. Before that the only problem I had was the insane flickering, which I fixed. the game was ultra smooth and pretty and fun.
-I run an intel quadcore @ 2.8MHZ
-Radeon 5970 HD 2BG RAM 11.14 drivers. I've tested this with drivers 10.12 all the way through 11.14 Same problem every time. I uninstalled it and reinstalled to the same drive. I then uninstalled Steam, reinstalled it and Crysis 2 to another hard drive, same problem. I have a similar problem with Total War: Shogun 2, but it at least lets me play it at times.
-Windows 7-64 bit.
I disable as much in the background as I can, I have no firewall active other than windows ATM, and antivirus spyware is down too.
What information do you need from me and how can I get it to you? I appreciate all help and am really frustrated because the first hour I got with the game was fun
