At Gamersgate it says you need a 3rd party download and an account. Is that steam ?

[BjornB]

That is correct

[HBernstein]

I have a Geforce 9800 GT. The demo seemed to run OK. Am I safe for the full version? The rest of the system is an Intel 2.4 Gb Quad-core with 4 GB RAM running 32-bit Vista.

[BjornB]

Sounds like you meet the system requirements and if the demo runs fine I can't see why it wouldn't.

i have exactly same problem, windows 7, 64bit, amd HD6970..

This issue happened when I set up streaming of the game through xsplit once upon a time. It only happened when I captured the game and disappeared when I captured the screen instead. I honestly have no idea what that means, but someone else might? Anyway, I would start by making sure your directx and graphic drivers are up to date.

Hey guys,

Did you manage to solve the issue? I just bought the game and everything seems to work except for the black square as mouse cursor. I downloaded the demo before I bought and there was no problem in the demo. I am currently running Vista.

Thanks

Start by updating your video driver. If that doesn't help post full details in the Support forum.
