Ok, so I've been playing Hellgate:LONDON on my gaming rig (equipped with nVIDIA GTX295). I've played the Summoner at first.


Now, I couldn't help but play the other character classes, starting with the Evoker, I've been playing all the character classes ever since.


I can still remember the bugless performance I used to have when I first played with the Summoner. When in Green Park Station, I activated the Oracle and it was actually there, you can see the tiny demon walk over to Tech314 and laugh and jump onto his face.


As the Summoner, I entered Aldwych and found it dark. I eventually realized that the goggles that you get from Hunter Rorke acts as a head-mounted flashlight that lets you see in the pitch-dark of Aldwych.


As I continued playing this game over the weeks, I realized that it kinda started breaking down, starting with complete system hangups (the PC would freeze mid-game), then stations in the game won't load properly (like the Templar guards not loading, but you can see their weapons floating as if they were there). Eventually upon loading, you can see that certain parts of the station (guards just blinking with green squares making up their silhoutte, corridors not lighting properly, etc.)


*SPOILER WARNING*

As an Evoker, I went through the quest in Aldwych where you need to collect a fresh boil sample. Aldwych is dark. I tried using the goggles that Rorke gave me but it won't light up the place as it did when I played the Summoner weeks ago. Eventually I stopped trying to get frustrated by it and I just played through a pitch-dark Aldwych, using my Evoker skills to periodically light up the place.


I wanted to watch the intro, and found out that in mid-play, the video would momentarily hang and play again, this time with an echo of the dialogue. I scheduled my hardisks to be scanned by Vista upon next startup and since then this video playback issue went away.


*SPOILER WARNING* Despite these bugs, I still played. Currently I can't get enough Marksman action ever since I got the Arclight Cluster Rifle. Now as a Marksman, I'm in Aldwych about to get the fresh sample. Same problem, Aldwych is dark. The goggles won't work.


Other bugs, other than the frequent random system hang-ups and freezes in mid-game, another bug I encountered is back in Green Park Station, when the Oracle is activated, it doesn't appear at all. Recently, all I saw was the Oracle's name go over to 314's and that was that.


BUGS! BUGS! BUGS!!!!

Help.


PS. I don't think my gaming rig has the problem, as I can actually play other games (like SUPREME COMMANDER: Forged Alliance, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl,) with full maxed out graphics.

Hellgate was always awfully buggy
