Clarification...
I agree that the game is excellent, and I would much rather get a workaround or a patch rather than a refund. But I have invested a bit of money and am not satisfied playing a game with all the immersion of Frogger on a 80286 box with DOS 3.2. I would rather not buy a second copy if I have to move to Xbox360 in order to fully enjoy the title.
PS-- Just noticed that when FPS drops out during a timed event, the clock keeps running in real time. Unlocks are going to be hard to come by if it takes one 10:00:00 to run a race that has a max time of 2:30:00 to earn a Bronze finish.
