Get rid of your friends and loose the job or college or whatever.When I go home for Xmas I will have my 8800 GT... And Crysis.... And Gears of War....
I might find time to try it.... I also might not
The same thing happened to me.
You NEED the latest drivers, or it just won't load at all.
XP: http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_169.04.html
V32: http://www.nvidia.com/object/winvista_x86_169.04.html
V64: http://www.nvidia.com/object/winvista_x64_169.04.html
They did not help me. Had them installed when first tried it, then even tried older drivers. Have tried everything.
Will wait until it is in the bargain bin, and make sure that it is patched up and working for everyone before I bother again.
I had problems last night installing and the game as it seems to be very fussy with drivers. I could not get the 169.04 Betas to work so I used the 169.04 which were fine. I also changed the overclock on my graphics card and this caused the game to not load so I had to reinstall the game. I almost gave up and I am glad that I did not as the game is a fun shooter.

Do you mean you used 163.75 ?.

Finally got this game working!
For some reason all I had to do was go into Rivatuner, and select the default settings for all. The odd thing is, I had not changed any of the settings. Only had an OC.
Anyway, am loving this game. Playing it on hardest setting and it is quite a challenge.
Personally, I think this is way better than HL2. The best single player FPS had a go at in a while.
And it looks great and runs like a dream.

I really do not understand the bad reviews. To be fair though, I wouldn’t call 70%+ bad scores. Metacritic highlights a fair amount of praise.
Not everything has to be a valve masterpiece. I think TImeshift is a great game and the developers did a grand job salvaging it from the mess it used to be back in 2006.

I just finished this game the other day and i loved it and it was actually a long single player,but maybe it's because i didn't play it all the time. I thought the graphics were really nice aswell all on max settings.
I don't understand why it didn't get good reviews i thought it was one of the best games this year. I tried multiplayer and it was ok, but it would help if there was actually more people online. The most i saw was about ten LOL....
Not sure if it was a driver problem or not (169.09), but if i wanted to change some settings in the video or control options later on...the game would freeze on me, but if i deleted the config files then it would be ok and it crashed on me during multiplayer, but it could be drivers.
Other than that single player was fine without problems, but still a great game IMO.

IMO its a great game, many noobs are going by the 1st Demo (Game was totally rewritten by 2nd Demo).

Yeah - they should have made a bigger point about the second demo - the first demo was pretty awful really and that's what most people think of
Any other year Timshift would be a top game but the competition this year has been amazing - best year for PC games ever.
Beautiful game, if a little shallow compared to the likes of Bioshock etc.
Totally agree, i haven't completed a pc game for a long time.
In the past few weeks ive completed The Witcher, COD4, Timeshift, and over half way in Bioshock.
After som initial frustration this game is really beginning to grow on me. Excellent game and is currently stopping me from resuming my battle in Bioshock.
