It's set to normal, don't really wanna do all that work as i don't see how it would fix the problem, no one should have to go through all that trouble to have a basic game like combat arms working...i thought i might have had something outdated that the game crashed..i guess i could just try reinstalling the game..i run on win7 64 bit, like most people here, this should not be happening...just bs
