I verified the cache and reinstalled the game. The only thing I can think of trying is reinstalling the video driver.

Any thoughts?

All I can add is it's definitely not your specs. I'm running it on a computer that's old as dirt (XP, an old c2d, 2GB of ram, and a 9800 GT) on high and it runs great. All I can think of is dicking around with your video drivers. Try updating if you haven't, a revision older if you were already updated. Maybe look for some beta drivers.

heres your problem the bulldozer processors don't work with some steam ceg games, because of the architecture of the cores the ceg software does not know how to use more than one core forcing the game to use a fraction of your available power, I have this same family of processor and found solace in a piece of software called "orochi CEG" which i'll admit i dont know what it does but it allows me too play these games which include Dues ex human revolution, saints row 3 and shogun total war 2.

And I can say is that it's not even platform specific. The game keeps either crashing to the dashboard or on complete lock-down for the Xbox360. Some people get lucky and only happens 2 or 3 times trough the whole campaign, but other get the same just by going trough the tutorial.

There's a lot of shit going down with Radeon cards. I haven't been able to run the game more than 5 minutes without it crashing to desktop.

@StrawHatLaw13: You're running 10-month old drivers for your GPU. Try the latest Catalyst or the 12.9 beta driver.

Before you install the new drivers I strongly recommend uninstalling your current drivers like you normally would from the Windows Control Panel, then performing cleanup using Driver Fusion. If you don't, there will be leftover files from the old drivers that could conflict with the new ones which can cause issues that would otherwise be avoided.

Thanks a lot for the input!

@SlasherMan I uninstalled the driver and then used Driver Fusion and afterwards installed the 12.9 beta driver and it improved it a whole lot even though I'm still running at low settings.

@buft Since it was still meh, I looked up "orochi CEG" and now I have it running smoothly on high settings!

So the driver issue is just user error on my part, and the whole bulldozer processor thing (it was using only one core really?!) is a bummer too, glad there's some type of solution for it.

So now that whole issue is resolved more or less. Thanks again.
