Saboteur Launch Plagued By Problems With ATI Cards 230

Posted by Soulskill on Wednesday December 09, 2009 @12:58AM from the more-or-less-finished dept.

An anonymous reader writes "So far, there are over 35 pages of people posting about why EA released Pandemic Studios' final game, Saboteur, to first the EU on December 4th and then, after knowing full well it did not work properly, to the Americas on December 8th. They have been promising to work on a patch that is apparently now in the QA stage of testing. It is not a small bug; rather, if you have an ATI video card and either Windows 7 or Windows Vista, the majority (90%) of users have the game crash after the title screen. Since the marketshare for ATI is nearly equal to that of Nvidia, and the ATI logo is adorning the front page of the Saboteur website, it seems like quite a large mistake to release the game in its current state."

Newest IBM patent: A method for waking a computer, using nothing more than a box of cat treats.

I wonder what size hair balls that thing generates?

The 'recession' is good for me. It my customers are more interested in keeping older equipment operational, rather than buying new.

On the other hand, it might also be because they don't want to buy a new computer with Vista bundled with it...

Thanks, Bill!
