Ok so, I have a problem that a few other unlucky Presidentes also have. My game will crash after about 10 or less minutes of playing it. Not just the game, but the entire computer!

I've read several other forums, but nobody had the exact same problem as me. I'm using ATI with catalyst, and from what I managed to piece together its my VPU that's resetting (for whatever reason). I figured it could be heat, so I jacked up my fan to 100% (the 4850 is a REALLY hot card). This failed, and I learned that it may be a power issue and cranking the fan actually could have made it worse. I put the power to 50%, and played a sandbox and it worked perfectly.

However, today when I got home I booted the game up on the Bananas campaign and it crashed AGAIN after 2 minutes of playing. I haven't tried playing a sandbox again, but it looks like its the campaign thats the problem.

If anyone here has any input on this, I'll give you the full information. Its frustrating, as I took part in the beta and that worked fine, now I finally have some extra money to buy the game and it doesn't work.


Thanks in advance!

I have just played my saved sandbox game, and it didn't crash at all.

So apparently the issue lies within the game itself, for some reason the campaign crashes on me in less than 5 minutes.
