I was waiting a long time for the fixed 1.2 patch before I played the game,
but when I got my X800 XT I decided to try the game anyway and got a lot of
graphical glitches making it unplayable. I was only going to try the 1.2
patch as a last resort (I didnt see any info that it would fix it), so I
tried ATI drivers 4.5 to 4.9 and still had the problem. ATI supprt said it
was a UbiSoft problem and not theirs and that setting "shadows" to medium
would help.

It seemed to help at first, but then I had the problem again. Trying to get
the game to work was a real headache because it would some times play for a
bit and then before you get to the next save area it would go bad and I
would have to start over.
I then tried the Omega drivers and the glitches were gone and I could play
the game.
It sounds like the new 1.3 patch might still have problems, but I dont have
any desire to go back and try the game unless there are new bonus SP maps or
features that make it worth it.
