I recently bought it. I installed the game and restarted the PC and then I started the game almost holding my breathe. i went through the menu and clicked over launch the game. But the screen went dark not dark it shows the Crazy! etc. icons and the health gauge but i can't see the scene. Plz help me out i really want to play the game.

Hey shashank, i don't think the gpu is so weak as not to be able to play the game. My friend has played it with an IGP.

@!upendra
check if the game works at lower settings or not. If yes, then ur gfx card might really be weak. So don't expect too much unless you don't get a faster GFX card.

u might also want to check min specs for the game.

these screen s**s sorry... i played the game and il tell u its good.. one thing that bothers me is the camera angle.. since its not customized much for PC it will be a bit irritating.. other wise the game is cool but his super human stunts are amusing.. makes me laugh..

funny u said that....
i wrote in the post that these wr the only 'decent' ones i could find... so i already meant that those screens s**k a$$... thanks for the re-affirmation... really helped... :rolleyes:
so next time read the whole post
camera angles stray every now n then, but u cn get em back to the default player back view by pressing 'P'.... helps a bit...
and about the superhuman stunts... hehehh... obviously dude... they are supposed to be superhuman... they're devil spawned? ring any bells? devils = not humans... hahaahaaa..
i guess the game's name ddnt give ya a clue big enough....

Come on.. why didn't you post the exact error ?? The game should've run just fine.... Try reinstalling your Graphic Drivers and Directx and then ensure that the copy of the Game runs fine on other systems...

You are on a Widescreen ? I don't know for sure... but that too can be a problem..... Try changing the reso to 4:3 format.....

GeForce MX series is crippled. Many games dont hav support for MX series.
I hav gone thru this phase long ago when i had GeForce MX 4000.

It needs Shader Model 3.0 (i am right, may be 1.0).

I think GMA950 doesn't support this game. I had the same problem with my 945 mobo.

@T159 , upendra_gp
thats right.....the game requires pixel shaders to render the scenes
the MX series do not have any pixel shaders....only vertex shaders
I think min card to play is nvidia FX5200
