Finally! Im patched to 1.111! Game runs very obviously faster with 11 patch, over the box version, 1.0106, or even .0109. However, it crashes EVERYTIME at the end of efery mission. It did not do this when I first installed it. But, whatever, LoL. BTW, so e confusion I think: I don't have quad 6950s, I have a quad core 9650, and GTX295s running in quad, fairly humble these days. But I'll post my experience if anyone is still interested. Thanks for "The Will To Sim" article!
