Terrible condition of the game.

[Chaos]

The game is back, but it's impossible to play. Fps is twitching, some stripes on the screen, Sean is glowing...And knowing EA, there will be no fixes and patches for the game. I want to make a return.

company's keep making broken ass games, like really? im sorry i shot a nazi in the head before he whistled and cause ooh the animation was half-way through it counts as a full whistle ya thats not how that works

Bomb planting in vehicle chooses to work only like barely of the time, i do what the game and ability tells me and nope doesnt even do it when its supposed to

...my copy works fine, and mine came from the arguably worst source of all; directly from EA's app...

Runs and works perfectly for me :)

There will of course be no patches, as its a game from 2009 - released unfinished because the publisher forced the game out 6 months before it was ready, then canned the dev team
:(

Most issues are caused by trying to run it at display settings it was never designed to run. The original PC version back in 2009 was designed to max out at roughly 1440p and roughly 60fps.

Attempting to run it with any modern upscaling/GPU hub changes , at 100hz+ or at very high res/ultra wide etc. will always cause major issues.

My advice would be to whack it on max settings, 2k res and 75hz or less, then enjoy :)
Its definitely perfectly playable as I completed the Origin version with 60+ hours played, no gamebreaking bugs, crashes or anything like that - its just minor jank from the original unfinished game.

4k 60hz and works just fine for me, just crashes when I open the stats.

There's not a damned thing wrong with the game. I got the retail version shortly after release and played it, no problems, until it stopped working on Windows. Then, when the Steam version came out, I got it, and again, no problems.

The problem is either your hardware, or drivers and other OS crap. Here are my specs on an updated 2015 custom-built rig:
MBD: MSI Z490-A Pro (MS-7C75) w/Intel Z490 chipset
CPU: i9-10900F 2.8 GHz 10-Core/20-Thread (water-cooled)
GPU: nVIDIA (Gigabyte) GeForce GTX-1660 Super Windforce / 6 GB GDDR6
RAM: 16 GB Crucial Ballistix UDIMM Gaming Memory, DDR4/3600 1.3V
OSD: Crucial NVMe M.2 2 TB SSD @2400 MB/s
PSU: 750 W EVGA 80+ Gold
OS: Windows 11 x64 Home 22H2 (10.0.22631)
Network: AC600 Nano WiFi 433 Mbps/ Bluetooth 4.2
SCR: 27" 2560x1440 144 Hz ViewSonic IPS (VX2768-2KP)

GOG has a somewhat shady reputation with respect to legality.

I think you're confusing GOG with something else, like abandonware sites.
