I was playing - trying to play - Tacoma with a Radeon HD 6800 (1 Gb) and Catalyst 3.4 ( "Driver Packaging Version" 12.104-130328a-155980C-ATI), on Win 7. The game got stuck at pivotal moments, like when you had to "touch" the AR "avatar"'s hand to "calibrate" your don't-know-what implants and when you tried to stick your "magic logbook" into its slot at the Personnel quarters (as you can see, being occupied to get over technical crap, I couldn't immerse myself in the storytelling details as much as I wanted - and this game is all about that). Both points where I got stuck, when I managed to carry on, seemed to involve animations from the playing character - character "high-fiving" the avatar-thing, or taking her "book-whatever" from her bag and putting it into the AI interface.
When I tried to play those parts at "Max" Graphics settings, the game froze and then the system told me that the graphics driver recovered from I don't know what error (appreciate the flawless precision of the details I put in my reports, by the way!).
At "Lowest" settings, the game didn't stop. By trial-and-error (and quite some swearing) I singled out the problem, at least on my system, and AT LEAST UNTIL NOW: I could keep the "Max" settings, I "just" had to disable anti-aliasing, and I got no more freezes/drivers errors.
What?! Are you saying "why don't you just update your drivers?". No way. 'Till now I have one game that misbehaves, yet I can make it work (FOR NOW). I just don't want to know how many old games will stop behaving if I update my drivers, I'm just not going to take that chance.
I hope this info may help someone.
If nobody feels/will feel helped by this info, well, thank you, you just made me waste quite a handful of time and keystokes. Shame on you!
Ain't PC gaming great?!
EDIT: Wow, 'till now this... "game" [?] is SUPERB! When people can round out their characters by letting you examine which kind of hair conditioners they are using, they got to a new, unexplored level of storytelling... I'm so happy to have bought this... this... isn't the term "game" a little constricting for this one?
