Hi, I have been at this for 2 days, and have tried the recommended steps and still no success. The game loads to main menu, but when I start a game, within 5-30 seconds freezes to the point where audio starts skipping and I am unable to Alt-tab or ctrl-alt-del. I have updated graphics drivers, and reinstalled all MNC components. PLEASE HELP! Here are my specs: AMD phenom II x4 965 Black edition (Quad Core) 4GB of ram ATI HD 5700. 1024mb Graphics card Direct X appears to be up to date. What do I do? P.S. I can play TF2 on full settings with 100-200FPS if that helps any. I doubt it's my hardware.
