64 bit

no
- What graphic card do you have and which driver version are you running ?
AMD Radeon 7660 + 7670 Dual Graphics
- What symptoms are you seeing (try to be as detailed as possible)

I did get pop up saying "Unknown Hardware" and "Unknown Graphics Card" With the latter it said that graphics setting would be set as high as possible and to turn them down if there are problems. I checked the settings and they were as low as possible, the default.
- Anything else you like to add.
Perhaps the devs just need to update what hardware/graphics cards the game can talk to? Just an idea from the unknown messages I got.
