Ah yes - 2.2Ghz

There lies your problem. The game requires a minimal CPU speed of 2.4GHz. You may get it to work, but far from getting the full benefit, and enjoyment.

I have to concede you are right - it is 2.4Ghz, I guess I didnt read the box properly when I bought it. Though quite why as goes installation it said it was ok and met min specs I dont know.

I still argue however that failing to meet minimum specs would cause the game to struggle to run altogether, not to cause a fault in a specific place. Say for example if you had a car with a low performance - it would struggle to go up all hills - not race up all hills, but one - to fail on one specific hill that is not as steep as others would seem a little strange would it not.

tbh - I'd like the devs to explain this one.

I'm not arguing with you however - I realise my CPU speed doesnt meet reqs, but the point is, is that it works completely fine, with much traffic, but in that one place it completely fails - just like centy has shown in his pics.
I will play again, if only to drive everywhere and find if this problem occurs elsewhere on the map. It just doesnt make sense. Will update (when I can).

I know of a few games that don't run well on minimal specs. That's why I never purchase a game using it. I always get a game using the recommended specs. For the life of me, I'll never understand why minimal is even listed. It gives the purchaser a false sense of security, and I find it to be a bit deceptive no matter who the publisher is. This game in particular runs poorly on the minimal specs. I know this because I installed it on my old computer very similar to your specs, and the bugs were endless like everyone else reported.

OK, so centy and I have similar specs (and both have the disappearing world bug (but only in one place).

My spec is:
Athlon 64 3700+ 2.2Ghz (centy's will be similar to 2.2)
8500GT 512mb
2gb ram
XP

Interesting point here. Though I still doubt it has to do with processor performance, because if it would be entirely due to processor performance it would happen in many places (not just one spot on the entire map).
I will set the graphics to lowest res & settings, with no traffic and see if there is a difference, but I suspect not. Then try in the opposite direction - if the processor is to blame the same problem should occur elsewhere.

I do note with interest however, the min req spec is unbalanced - CPU needs 2.4Ghz (which many current pc's fail to match), yet the rest of the min reqs are very, very low - 1gb RAM, and a 5700 nvidia! That is like (at least) 4 year old tech. Very bizarre.

But as I say - my pc works completely fine with it, unless I drive from Lebec to LA. Then it fails.

However, I've not reported endless bugs - I've reported one. I've also said that the game works fine (with traffic etc) with the exception of the one fault with the missing world (in one spot on the map). That one wrecks the game. I do not believe that this error is caused by the processor. Is there a techie around who could explain why this would happen?

NB: There were no recommended specs on the box.

Your video card is better, and could explain your overall performance. I have not personally seen this error on my computer. Also check out the system specs on 1C's Home page for RnR. The recommended specs are listed there.

i never got these problems. maybe its because my pc is a monster
