Title say's it all, everything is installed and game opens with no errors but when i try to do a tutorial or campagn it goes to the loading screen and stays there frozen in time, it never goes past loading screen, I've tried everything all new updated drivers in every piece of hardware and all the patches. talking nice to it, rubbing the box gently, offered it milk and cookies, nothing works (I know the game S.T.A.L.K.E.R. had a issue with the 8800 cards and vista but they patched it could this be same isssue?) ..plz any help is welcome


heres my system if that helps:

OS- Vista Ultimate 32bit
MB- EVGA-NFORCE 680i sli
Prossecor- D core 2 duo extreme 2066 ghz quad core
ram- 4 gigs
Video- NVIDIA 8800 GTX X2 in SLI config
Drivers- just updated every driver this morning (literaly all of em)

I've relaoded the game 3 times
Re-booted 5+ times
put all grafics at lowest settings including Dynamic Shadows

drop one graphic card and you should be fine...?
