Game freeze

[Birdseye]

Very odd. I had played this game thru once when it first came out. I tried to replay it and it freezes within 10 minutes of starting play. Have a new MB and updated drivers all around but ...

Operating System: Windows XP Professional x64 Edition (5.2, Build 3790) Service Pack 2 (3790.srv03_sp2_gdr.080813-1204)

DirectX Version: DirectX 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904)

Card name: NVIDIA GeForce 8800 Ultra

This seems to be a problem with nvidia cards and I have not seen a solution yet. Anybody have any ideas?

I have the same problem, I think. I play at decent FPS for 12-13 minutes, then come to a near stop for 3-4 minutes. I have tried every setting combination that I can think of to improve performance both on my NVIDIA card and the game settings, but ALWAYS get the game FREEZE around every 15 minutes. I have NEVER played more than 20 minute without freezing for 4 minutes.

Please give us one more information.
Which graphics-card driver do you use?
