Hi,

I just downloaded the Яeta.
Started the game, saw the nice scenery, went to graphic options to check what I could do when I saw two hovercrafts (i believe) comming towards the island, I quickly closed the options windows to view what's happening (expecting a c&c:zh kinda background) saw two units pop out of the hovercrafts and then the game freezes

I've got my dxdiag.txt right here:

Attempts 1/1

am gonna try to run the program again.

Can give you a list of running applications....

OKay, attempt two crashes at the same point.
As soon as I exit the options screen, half a second later the game goes kaboom..

well.. not really kaboom.. it just implodes

Gonna try without Steam, Antivirus etc.

Okay, i'm out of it... attempt three out of three failed.
I've unloaded all programs and ran memcleaner which comes with TweakXP...

It doesn't matter if I run the intro or not nor has going in and out the options menu any effect...

No, it would be weird if it froze randomly..

this just happens three out of three at the same point, a clear bug... I think... it should be.. maybe.. maybe it's me...

that'd be nice, but under normal circumstances I won't have any time to do it through the main->options menu since it freezes after about 3~5 seconds on the main menu...

Okay, I installed Catalyst 4.3.
Tried half-life (the other game that was freezing)
Those problems were gone I've played a couple of maps etc.
No problems whatsoever.
Actually they were kind of the same problems, freezing at the main menu....

This time, with the 4.3 drivers I go into the tutorial and only get to click the next button two times.
I'm pretty sure I get another 100% success rate if i try to start again.

it would be nice if a real tester or dev responded and let me know if I'm the only one or that it's a more wider available problem...

Massive Assault uses 100% of GPU. Absolutely most of videocards works well, hovewer some of them not.
Sometime this happen because overclock and sometime because AGP8x card is inserted into AGP4x or AGP2x mother board. Also some GPUs are defective.
Can you try to lower GPU DAC freq?

Okay,

I've tried to lower the frequency of both GPU and video memory
Turned them from 500/325 to 300/275.
As soon as I enter the game I go to the options menu and turn down all graphic options to low and off
Played three tutorial mission, they work
Went to graphics options, set everything to medium and left things that only have off/on to off.
Played another tutorial level faultless.
Went to options, turned everything to high and on except for V-Sync.
The game still runs.

Throughout the game in an underclocked state, I noticed a lot of artifacts.

Am trying to run the game now with bios default clock settings (but leaving overdrive on, upping the gpu frequency to 525Mhz.)

Okay, when I run my card at default settings, it freezes pretty quickly in-game
