So I was trying to get starwars battlefront 2 to load but it kept crashing at the loading screen all the time. Then one time It got all the way thru and I managed to play a level and then it crashed. It got me thinking, it's probably something specific to my machine. So I searched and searched about how it was crashing to desktop and it turns out that its got a problem with dual core cpu's and you have to set the affinity of the application to run in uniprocessor.

The program you need is imagecfg it lets you set the affinity for individual programs. I got it going just so I could see how bad the single player missions are, egads there's an easy difficulty and an hard one and thats it. So it got me thinking, hey what about these other games that have been acting weird and no one else is getting problems with it, so I gave it a go too.

Fable - crashed to desktop sometimes, video stutering (fixed)
Farcry - video stuttering, haven't tried yet
Darwinia - missing graphics (fixed)
X3:Reunion - missing warp animations, buggy (need to try)

and some others that I can't remember, it's like this magic elixer that fixes all of my gaming woes.
