[Renegade_Playa]

I just recently got this game....and made a backup of it

the problem is that the game stalls when it's loading from the disc

the game finds the HDD the blue disc light flashes and the disc is re-read and then stalls

this happens on both the original and backup.

I have tested it with the HDD removed and didn't work

I have also tried installing the game on the HDD. it worked but it looked like the game stalled on the start screen

anybody got ideas on what the problem is
