I have just installed stranglehold EN.
it first starts the intro movie and all...
but then there's no menu, its just black with only a mouse-pointer. when switching to windows, stranglehold CPU resource is at 90-99%. could it be my specs?

my specs are:
intel pentium D 3Ghz
1GB DDR2 RAM
HD more than enough
Radeon Ax850 PCI-expr
Windows XP sp2

thnx,
Jur

Most people with less than 2 GB of RAM cannot get the game to run. Some can, but they are in the minority.

The people that upgraded to 2GB of RAM now report that the game runs fine. So I'm betting that's what your problem in - your computer doesn't meet the minimum recomendations.

for those with GeForce graphic card, uninstall the current driver and download the beta(163.76). For a precise explanation, see this TOPIC
