It did look interesting, though - and maybe I'll get back to it someday.
Give the patch a shot, I'm playing it on relatively new hardware: quad-core, Nvidia GeForce GTS 450, Vista64 and have no problems at all.
And like I posted back in What games are you playing now? still really enjoying it and finding it hard to put down.
