no, that fix is not just for cool n quiet. i use it and it helped my couple game issues.

in one of those x2 threads theres a guy (compgeek or comp2nerd or something) who had that exact game issue.

iirc, he fixed it with the msft patch and the x2 drivers.

here ya go

The AMD driver did not fix HL2/Madden/Sim2 and Lineage for me.

This MS patch has fixed them all

yup, the X2 patch+ MS Hotfix fixed the L2 (and other Unreal 2 based games) problems for me.

As indicated you need to:

1) Install the AMD X2 driver (see here)
2) Install the XP Dual Core Hotfix (see here for mirrors) and enable it with the registry key (see here for instructions)

Of course, this only applies if you have XP-32 (Pro/Home) with SP2. If you are running 2000 or XP-64, you're out of luck.
