Today I wanted to write a review and preview for the latest EA game – The Saboteur. I bought the game yesterday and installed it and got very exctided to try it out. But the game had some major freezing issues. After experiencing that problem I started to google for some article or forum to find out if any other user had similar problem.
Guess what! So far, there are over 53 pages of people posting on EA forums about why EA released Pandemic Studios’ final game after knowing full well it did not work properly. It is not a small bug! If you are an ATI video card user and either Windows 7 or Windows Vista, you’ll have game crash after the title screen. Since the marketshare for ATI is nearly equal to that of Nvidia, and the ATI logo is adorning the front page of the Saboteur website, it seems like quite a large mistake to release the game in its current state.
Yeah I know this one was more flame then news but here are the news. AMD is now working with Electronic Arts to resolve these issues for AMD/ATI users. Let’s hope they’ll fix this problem.

Marketshare almost equal? Not exactly… Nvidia has around 2x the market share of ATI. http://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/ Not that it excuses EA releasing something with such serious problems on ATI. It’ll probably get the same care and attention the GPFs for Borderlands have gotten for some people. That is to say, basically none..
