I feel like I have to honor their stubbornness with the number 1 spot on my list just because it just feels like they're more of a threat or at least more active then the other groups.

    This game has such a large variety of enemy groups (especially all in one game) that I'd like to know what are some of the community's favorites. Here's some of mine (yes they're in order), most of them are military groups since that's my favorite style of villain group.

    1.Rikti
    2.Malta
    3.Nemesis
    4.Arachnos
    5.The Tsoo
    6.5th Column
    7.Crey
    8.Council
    9.PPD
    10.Sky Raiders

    I could go into detail why I like them in this order but I'm lazy at the moment so maybe on a different day. Remember you can list your groups however you want!

    Hmm, if it's true of what you said then I might have to consider those drivers as a last resort option (I don't like my graphics getting messed with). So I guess the only thing to do so far is run it in safe mode? I'd still like to know what safe mode does though.

    EDIT: okay never mind, I'll just download the drivers. Is there a 32 bit version of the drivers though? The 64 bit version doesn't work on my pc.

    Are you running on 197.45 drivers? Those seem to be the more stable drivers.
    I haven't tried safe mode yet but what does safe mode do exactly and will it alter game performance? I could try it safe mode just to test it at least. And the 197.45 drivers I have no idea what those are, should I use it and if so how?

    Game crashing

    POST-ACTION

    Basically the screen turns black and then the game's sounds start to loop and I cant play it anymore, making me have to shut down my computer to get out of it. I think I pretty much tried almost every solution I could find on the forums, none working. So I guess I had no choice but to post here. Here are my specs (I hope I did this right).

    EDIT: whoops I forgot to put the Hijack This specs too, they're in the next post.
