After the first part of the game, where you go into the elevator. I get to the loading screen for Rapture, and then my game crashes. Can anyone help me?

What are you system specifications. On Vista go to Start/Accessories/Command Prompt and then type in dxdiag. On XP go to Start/Run then type in dxdiag.

All the information you need is there.

amd athlon 64 3800+ 2.6ghz
8800gts video card
1gig ram
300gig hard drive
Nforce4 mobo sli

Hmmm just reading through others similar problems. Try installing the latest driver for your graphics card. Tekmosis had the issue fixed by simply rebooting totally by hitting the Reset button on his PC.

NOTE: 8800GTS with 3800+ ??? *cries* I feel sorry for your graphics card!

Well, my computer is still a work in the making, but it beats my x800 that was in it by over 9000!

Read my updated post

If you want a decent CPU, try the Intel E6600, Q6600 or E6750

An E6400 does the job nicely though if you have a 8800GTS I would go with Evan's suggestions...also I would grab another Gig of RAM...newer games are going to eat that up for breakfast no matter if you have the superman of all videocards

Definitly have to agree with shadow about the RAM. If you are to use 8800GTS to full potential you'll need Windows Vista, and that chews RAM like anything. If you are mostly into gaming and don't want to spend big money then just get Vista Home Basic. Whatever version of Vista you buy make sure it's the OEM edition! I have clocked Vista using 728MB of RAM while it was doing nothing. That means that if you have 1GB then you aren'y left with much overhead. 2GB minimum for todays games (more if your looking at Crysis).

No you didn't. There is no reason that you shouldn't be able to install the latest graphics drivers. Strayfire's link has the driver you need to download. Download it. Install it. Play the game.

have you tried this link?

Checks if your pc are able to run the game. No spyware don't worry...... Though you really need atlist 2gig of RAM X_x....

Alright, to be perfectly honest, I would put off all hope of trying to fix this until the official patch. So many people are having random unexplained crashes even if their hardware was well above the recommended requirements, and nothing suggested has helped them at all. For now, try adding the -dx9 command to the start menu shortcut, and turning of EAX Sound and High Detail Shaders if you haven't already.
