Great comp for the sake of Sam have put 6600 instead МХ400, and a new laptop, the boss does not give for the sake of I in the grid home could paranacity. How could the developers be so cruel to do that to the fans of the game? Not all amenable to upgrade.

Conclusion: it is necessary to take litsenzionku and preferably on DVD because I have a 4 CD comp and blatantly refuses to run Setup.exe.Only with the help sent by one compassionate comrade setup I was able to put the game(after dancing with a tambourine 3 hours).
Yes , I have now is GFMX440 and in the log it says that the game complains about the lack of support for Shader I in ini chopped off , all gone , just no image ... because you can turn ... the game is built on CryEngine felts with small alterations ,roofing felts on dorobotana Unreal2 , and there the Shader can be cut without any consequences ... who the thread is ideas ... or maybe a patch ? :)

Tearing image
On some systems with fast rotating the image left or right with the mouse you may observe an effect in which the bottom part of the image behind the top part of it, as if the screen was divided into strips of one or more horizontal lines.
The effect is called tearing of the image, its sometimes hard to see and it has no harmful effects on the gameplay.
This is because image processing is not synchronized with the vertical refresh rate of the monitor. This setting usually can be changed in the advanced settings of monitor and video card (in control Panel selectScreen, select the tab configuration and click Advanced). The specific settings depend on the video card drivers. Refer to the documentation of the graphics card driver to learn about how it is setup.
