I have downloaded the GC2 last patch, but still crashes every time I try to play.
I can see the first cinematic and pass all the game´s setup screens but GCV2 crashes a few seconds after the loading screen appears.
I couldn´t find any video driver update for my card, so I believe I have the latest. If you know where I can get the latest, please tell me !! (maybe this is the problem, but in ATI´s page I can´t find a driver update for my card)
Here is the debug file :
