Adding that /3gb switch to the boot.ini made the computer extremely sluggish, even at the desktop with nothing running. I'll get a 64-bit os eventually, but right now cannot afford one. Like I said though, when I close steam the game launches and runs fine.
Why do the minimum requirements state Windows XP and 2gb of ram if thats the case? Did they not test the system requirements? All of my video settings are on the absolute minimum.
