Fista is a bastard, got MTW2 all patched up on my flatmates PC (which i frequently erm... steal) and followed the few vague suggestions for resolving compatability issues

but the damn game repeatedly crashes to desktop, or even reboots the PC at random intervals, anyone got this game working properly? and help for this mildly frustrated luddite retard

Yea its a well known fix for any game which crashes / doesn't work when paired with Fista...

Install XP

There is another option, you have to run the game in a compatability mode, here's how that works-

1-right click on the game.exe that you want to run, and then follow the menu options below Uninstall fista.

2-Re-install XP.

3-enjoy gaming without a dodgy half working os.

4...

5-Profit!!!

maybe my flatmate won't notice me instal a different OS if i can find a Fista 'skin' for XP

hell maybe he'd thank me for it anyway. i still can't play with regiments of elephants though

Works okay for me under Fista, but I only have v 1.02 and can't patch it because it's a (legally) downloaded copy and you can only use their patches, which they haven't, and have no plans to, release.

So, it works without crashing, but all the soldiers run in the opposite direction to the one instructed.

I believe that's called 'fleeing in panic'
