Amazon just got the game to me today, so I was a bit worried after reading these forums the last couple days. However, it has performed absolutely flawlessly for four or five hours now -- no video issues, no visual artifacts, no sputtering sound, no video playback choppiness with the Wonder and religion movies. I didn't even have to mess around with the tool to unpack the art. So, with all this in mind, I'll list my specs so we can get a handle on what does/may not work.
CPU: Athlon 3200+ (Clawhammer, 1MB L2)
RAM: 1GB DDR 400
Chipset: VIA (MSI mobo)
Video: Sapphire Radeon 9800 Pro (256-bit, 128MB RAM)
OS: Windows 2000 SP4 (fully patched)
Video Driver: ATI Catalyst 6.14 (June 2005, installed to run Pirates!, another Gamebryo-based game... go figure)
Audio: Philips Acoustic Edge PCS706 (driver v1.89; DirectX sound is set to Basic Acceleration, necessary for NWN to run)
Game settings: 1280 x 1024, all the eye candy turned on, all audio/music settings left as detected; no changes made to INI file(s)
Misc: No software firewall, AVG (free) running full-time and Firefox 1.07 left running in the background with four tabs open.
Cool game... well done, Firaxis.
