Go into DirectX and turn the sound acceleration slider down until you can slow down the freeze-ups in the menu long enough to get the game going. You have to press your selections fast. Start off with "Basic" acceleration then once you get to know the menu and get quicker at it, you can probably move it up to "Standard" acceleration. We've been waiting for a patch for months now. It's obviously not coming.

This doesn't instill any confidence in getting it fixed.

Producer Harvey Smith of Blacksite Area 51 said, then got fired/resigned.

"This project was so f***ed up," Smith said in a recent Wired interview. "With a year to go, the game was disastrously off rails... It went straight from alpha to final."

Smith noted that Midway went ahead with shipping and sale without the necessary tests to ensure BlackSite: Area 51's quality. He even complained of how limited resources were for the development effort. "Everyone was forced to share tech. It took eight months to get one thing working," he adds.
