Godfather 2 is...bwoken?

[The Warden]

Yes, even Steam fails me sometimes.
Alright, lemme explain:
I downloaded and installed Godfather 2 for PC from Steam and started playing it.
As soon as I started a new game, it works fine, until you start controlling Dominic, then it gets messed up; The camera keeps spinning around, and the controls apparently keep flicking back and forth from PC to Xbox to PC to ANGER.
I've googled this, talked on EA's forums (That place is fucking dead) and found someone else had this issue as well, but no amount of searching has turned up with help.
Wut does I do?

I can't help, but I just think its funny cause I was just about to rent it.

 

[dmase]

can you redownload it?

try contacting Steam support, great guys, ive had a few questions over the years and they have always been fast, friendly and helpful.

but a quivk way to solve most issues can be solved by deleting and reinstalling.

also kudos on making an new and gaming related thread, and i hope i was of help.

Yeah I second the Steam support they're pretty good at helping, and I also second reinstalling.

 

[The Warden]

I tried a reinstall but there was 0% difference.
So I'm going to contact support, but if they don't help, I'll just have a refund and get something else.

"duh moment" advice, but are your graphics drivers (and DirectX 9.0 if you're in WinXP) up to date? that can sometimes cause such glitches.

otherwise, it may just be a random hardware conflict.

Nope, if they were, wouldn't Steam have told me that?

Well, I may have put that a little bit wrong; What I meant was this: When I had my old computer (Really, REALLY old) I'd logon to steam to play HL2 or whatever and it would give me a message saying my graphics cards were shit and I'd be fucked.
It never did that for Godfather 2 once I got mah new computer

Steam only tells you if your hardware is out of date, not the drivers.

If you're on Windows Xp, update your directX here:

It won't change much, but Microsoft does do periodic DX updates, and if you're using a really old one, this may fix the issue.

Otherwise, for graphics drivers, head to your ATI or Nvidia and do a search for your card's series.
