Hi,

I had version 1.4.1 and it worked perfectly. I uninstalled that, and I installed 1.5. I tried "free driving", the game loads, everything starts okay but after a few seconds everything freezes. If I press ctrl-alt-del and start the task manager I get a message saying "Starter application has stopped working". I removed the "Forward Development" directory from "Documents" and the same thing happens.
I was not asked to re-activate the application, I made sure the firewall does not block the application. I am out of ideas at this point.

Please help.
Thanks

Hi Adi,
I tried your suggestion but it didn't make a difference. I did more digging however and I narrowed the problem down to "multithreaded rendering". Un-selecting that option makes the game work again. I don't know if it matters but I have two Nvidia cards in SLI on a Windows 7 64 bit.

Another problem I have noticed is that the activation screen shows some really mangled text. See the screenshot attached:

Are you sure you've downloaded the International version, but not Russian one? Was there the language selection screen during the installation?

I've downloaded the "Mirror 2" file (the others seemed very slow) and everything else is in English. I don't remember about having or not the language selection screen during the install. This kind of garbled text appears also when the application is uninstalled.
