If anyone can help me out with this, I would appricate it.
I enjoy this game a great deal, and would love to get more involved with it, but after about 5 to 10 minutes, the screen goes completely brown. I end up having to reboot the whole computer. I dont think that it is overloading the grapics card...I am not sure what is happening with it, and it is getting frustraiting.
Anyone know what is causing this? If so, please help!
Sorry for the brevity of this post...just trying to get to the point.
Thank you ahead of time!

If it helps to solve the problem, I dont mind sharing at all.
My card is a Nvidia GeForce m G (the computer is less the 6 months old).
It bothers me that the grapics are crashing on what is supposed to be (from what I understand) a rather good graphics card.
ya thats a awesome card, um..... try getting new drivers for it once you have installed new drivers tell me if that helps or not

"M G" usually stands for Mobile Graphics for NVidia cards. Since you didn't give the series number, it could be anything from a 8600 to a 9600. In any case, it's not one of their better cards. If that is a mobile, then you're also playing on a laptop.
So you probably have shared memory rather than dedicated, a low number of processer cores, and a tendency to overheat easily.
While PWs graphics are a 'generation' old, the engine is very inefficient and puts a lot of extra work on video and processer. So you could easily be overheating.
You should try one of the monitoring tools for nvidia cards (there's monitoring software on nvidia's site somewhere, nvtools or something) or rivatuner or another such program. Then at least you'd know if it's an overheating issue.
Finally, you should really go to the PW forum for tech support. You're much more likely to get meaningful help or see an answer to the problem in a sticky.
