Help please, my game is unplayable

[windyman56]

I decided to start a quick mission when I got this game today, and the game, no matter what settings I have it on, flickers and does not display properly. On high: the game just sits there with a black A-10 over properly textured terrain. On medium, the game sits there with a properly textured A-10 and properly textured terrain. On low, the game just shows a black screen. I'm running version 1.1.0.9. My system specs are as follows:

Take note of the video reference in the minimum requirements.

 

Minimum system requirements: Operating system: Windows XP, Vista or 7; Processor: Core 2 Duo 2.0 GHz; Memory: 3 GB; Free hard disk space: 7 GB; Video: 512 MB RAM card, DirectX 9 - compatible; Sound: DirectX 9.0c - compatible; requires internet activation.

 

Your Sony specs read: Video RAM: 256MB dedicated video ram.

 

And then take note of the many posts by people in this forum talking about overclocking their i7 CPU's and consider that a Duo @ 2.2 is half the CPU speed that I am running at.
