    So, I am near the end of the game on the very last stretch of Ilos. This has nothing to do with enimes or how hard combat is. I need to drive down a ramp to get to the conduit in under 40 seconds. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE! I have tried so so so many times and can never make it in time. The Mako is just nor dast enough or I need just 5 more seconds. I hate driving the Mako and the fact I need to be perfect at it to contiue the game is so wrong. I don't know why no one has complained about this before. So that leads me to believe I am not really doing what I am suppsed to be. I think I need to touch the conguit in time, but it is just not possible. Any advice would be greatly apreciatted. 
     
    EDIT: Got it. I had to turn down my settings to make the game run faster.

    Are you shooting the enemies?  Because you don't need to.  Just drive straight at the portal or whatever it is, don't worry about anything else.

    Forget the enemies, despite some fighting back, and just step on it to the conduit.

    I do, trust me. I just drive straight ahead as fast as it can go. But I  never make it. Like it's not even close. I drive down the thing straight at the conduit, but time expires before I can get there.

    Make sure you go straight to it following the river at first. Don't slow down or swerve. I've done it on my first attempt on insanity.

    Really? I have never actually lost going to the Conduit. I just  take the path straight down and I make it in time. Even on Insanity I made it my first try.

    I don't know what it is, it just doesn't do it. It is supposed to be easy.  
     
    Maybe the PC version just hates me....

    hummm maybe you should reload the last save before running to the conduit. You might have a bug there.

    I don't know what the problem is if you're just driving straight there. I have played ME1 4 times through (once on Insanity) and have always had ~10 seconds to spare upon reaching the conduit :/
     
    Maybe it's a bug? If so you might want to email Bioware tech support :/

    Okay, I went back and got to the part and it still isn't enough time. Did you get 40 seconds? Also did it stop you before going down too say a few words than show a cutscene?

    I'm thinking maybe it's something to do with visual effects; if there is a "frame limiter" or "vertical sync" try turning it off. I could not complete a mission in GTA: San Andreas without turning off the frame limiter. 
     
    It could also be due to a weak video card; several people have reported this problem around the internet and stated that lowering the visual effects (resolution, texture quality, etc.) helped.

    Just saw a youtube video of the PC version. Cutscene, then 40 seconds. You should be able to make it in 30.

    @SlashseveN303: It was my own computer's fault because it is not that good.
    @Bigandtasty:
    I think you are right. It worked when I turned all my setting down.
