Have you attempted to run PT Boats again ? I've seen crashes on initializing the game, but after a few attempts at getting it to run, it finally ran without issue (this was with XP, a GeForce 6800GT and a P4).

Do you know if the Nvidia PhysX installed ? I can't recall off-hand if there is a DirectX update or not in the installer. If there isn't, you may want to download the DirectX web-updater (which will download the actually needed updates for DirectX):

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=2DA43D38-DB71-4C1B-BC6A-9B6652CD92A3&displaylang=en

Do you know what selections you made in the 'Settings' dialog box that comes up right before PT Boats launches ?

i'd also look at video driver and machine specs... try running in dx9 mode?

will there be a patch for this soon from battlefront?
