    Could someone with this game please start it up and set all image quality settings to the minimum value, and if possible set the refresh rate to 75hz, then attach the system.ini to a post. The file should be located in Program Files\Steam\Userdata\randomnumber\57900\Remote or similar.

    I'm asking for this because the game starts up real slow, and when I finally get to the main menu where it says "Press any key", but it's completely unresponsive. And I think it may be due to the default settings somehow...

    Nobody responded, but I managed to edit it myself with Notepad++. But still the buttons are completely unresponsive at the menu, and I can't do anything. Any ideas/

    Occasionally that happens to me and the unresponsive nature of the controls is related to the extremely low frame rate I'm getting. Not a programmer but I'm guessing the game only has so many windows to poll for control input and with the framerate low I find I have to spam the key until it gets recognized.

    I'd try lowering the resolution down to the lowest you can go to see if the framerate boost allows you to properly use the menu. Worked for me in Mass Effect...which I promptly never played again due to the framerate. Maybe once I get a new video card.

    Is this an error with the game like a bug or is it just inherent to the PC version on some rigs? Sure that your rigs are powerful enough for it? I've seen videos of it running fine on the PC, even though it is most likely just a console port and not at all optomized to for the PC platform. Not dissing either platform, just stating potential facts.
