Hello, I wanted to try out the game but it keeps freezing. Downloading and installing went without any problems, but when I wanted to open the in-game menu for the first time, the videos would load and pass, and after 5-10 seconds being in the actual menu the game would freeze. I tried messing with the UDKSystemSettings.ini config to lower whatever settings I could recognize, then lowered the resolution a bit more and it didn't crash after that. In the menu I put whatever remaining graphical options to lowest, and upon trying to load a skirmish map (Field), the game would load but again crash after 5-10 seconds. I'm playing on somewhat outdated PC (Win XP SP3, Intel Pentium E6700, HD4680, 2 GB RAM). In those few seconds of game time, game did seem fairly playable. By freezing, I mean that the PC would come to a stop (still image, sound in loop, task manager wouldn't respond, nothing but restart works). Overheating comes to mind, but I play other games that stress PC seemingly way more than Renegade, so I'm not even exactly sure about that. It's a shame because I really like how the game looks so far.
Anyway, the settings I'm using:
