7.0 from GameSpotUnfortunately, we experienced some performance issues specific to the PC version of Stranglehold. On the first test machine we tried, a single-core Pentium 3.4 GHz with a gig of RAM, Windows XP, and an nVidia GeForce 7800 GTX card, the game refused to run. Every time we'd boot the game up, we'd get one of those delightful blue screens of death that force you to reboot your machine.
Ummmm --- That'd probably b/c the game requires 2 GB of RAM, actually -- for a minimum
Other than that, that does meet the game's
high minimum requirements...On a more powerful dual-core machine with 2 gigs of RAM, Windows Vista, and an nVidia 8800 GTX video card, that problem ceased, though during gameplay, the game would periodically crash to the desktop.
Looks like a cheap promotion for Vista there, in a sense....
Fortunately, the game autosaves after every checkpoint, so as annoying as this issue is, you won't ever lose significant progress.
I hope you can also save at anytime, too...
At the very least, when the game ran, it ran very smoothly, with no hitches or frame rate problems to speak of.
W/ a Dual-Core, 2 gigs of RAM, Win Vista, and a GF 8800 GTX, it should!
