Christ knows what's going on. My computer should be able to run this pretty much okay (AMD II x4 965 3.40ghz, 4gb ram), but the game is unplayable. My hard-disk is constantly loading to a point the game freezes on and off when in the game, basically severe slow-down. Sounds like piss poor developing to me. I've played with games the same if not better graphics than this, and ran fine, even if not in full spec.
Loaded up game again, performance was slightly better. But soon as I died and re-loaded, it all stopped and trying to load again. Maybe it's some kind of memory leak? I just pressed control alt delete, too, and the game is only using a gig of memory! So no way should the game be taking forever to load and have performance issues such as this. Usual crap from developers. This is with the patch as well.
