Right now I can't get Far Cry to run. I have X24400+ w.X1950 crossfire running the Catalyst drivers from the X1950 install CD. The game just crashes out of 3D mode as soon as the map loads. It doesn't make me want to quit PC gaming but it does piss me off.
I also had a couple pretty stressful days trying to get Half-Life 2 to run without pink and black checkerboard textures everywhere. I bought the CD version on the day the game was released. It would have been fine if I purchased over Steam.
These occasional headaches are worth the much higher quality, immersion, richness, and responsivess of gaming on a PC versus on a console.
