The Saboteur - Question about running the game

[Black_Hawk]

Hello

I was going through my backlog list and wanted to pick up The Saboteur and play it since I had missed playing this game and from the videos on Youtube I liked what I saw of the gameplay. But the problem is I've read about the game having major issues running on a quad-core system specifically with ATI cards. Now my question is, I'm going to be running the game on my system (system specs in my siggy) on Windows 7 (64bit), will I be able to run the game? Does the 'Beta Patch 1.3' solve any of the problems when used along with the method listed in the link below:

TIA

Sometimes you'll have to look past the bugs to enjoy a game.

@jojothedragon: Yup, true. I'm just looking for a heads-up to know if that patch is at all necessary or the game will run fine on my quad and HD7850 combo.

You will need to install the patch, otherwise you will have freezing issues and texture load issues.

@Black_Hawk I suggest you install the patches otherwise you will face texture issues. They are Not major but minor only but its better if you install that.

Awrite guys I will install the Beta patch 1.3. After installing the patch do I need to set affinity and deselect 2 cores to make the the game run or will I be good to go after just patch installation?

No infact i did not faced any major glitch problem even without installing the patch. And even after patch i don't think so cause i didn't.

Thanks Altair and whatsinaname, really appreciate the info guys. I will install the game + patch and post back on how the game is running on my rig.

EDIT: Okay so I installed the game, patched it with the 1.3 Beta patch and fired up the game after playing around with the graphics options in the game's launcher for a bit. Completed the first mission and the game is running like a gem so far. Hope it continues to do so. The graphics still look pretty sweet.
