Problems with F.E.A.R

[Kev_11]

Hi, i bought F.E.A.R today and im having problems getting the game started. Could it be that my graphics card is too old? its a MSI FX 5600, or mabye it could be some other problem?. The thing is i can play doom 3 and far cry with my card, which is kinda strange cause those games are pretty high standards.

plz help me, thanks.. :):

According to the system spec's it should run on that video card (Lowest Geforce card supported is the Geforce 4)... What are the rest of your system Spec's?

According to the demo and VU the game supports down to a gf 3 ti, which is lower than a gf4 or did I miss something?

Wow must have been a last minute cut. It ran great for me on my gf3 ti 200. Guess I may need to take it back.

how did you fix

Reinstall the game, if I'm not mistaken your card is not compatible. For a mere $90 you can get a card that should play it fine:

But if you cant resolve the problem and do decide to get a new video card I suggest getting something better then I linked, my 7600GT runs F.E.A.R on all highest settings perfectly.
