The beautiful indie game Trine ran at a very inconsistent framerate and crashed on me several times, especially when there were physics involved. It was strange, because I assumed that a game like this shouldn’t be very demanding.
I found out that the problem was antialiasing. The difference between having it on or off is very noticable on most games, framerate-wise, but in Trine it’s the difference between crashing every ten minutes and running smoothly.
So disable antialiasing if you’re having problems.
If that doesn’t work, check the official forums.

Ubisoft decided they wanted it to be difficult to play online in Far Cry 2.
“Online key??” What online key?
The “online key” is really just your CD key. I think you have to type it in with hypens, but not in caps.
You need to register at ubi.com for it to work. The password form don’t accept certain characters, so I wouldn’t use non-alphanumeric characters if I were you.
PunkBuster problem
If you get a PunkBuster error while loading an online map, you must update it (PunkBuster, not the game). For some reason it didn’t work updating it with the PBSetup client, so I had to download the actual update instead. Go to the Far Cry 2 page on the PunkBuster website, download the latest file for your operating system, and put it in the “Far Cry 2/bin/pb/htm” folder.
Now you’re set to play a fairly boring and generic online shooter. Enjoy.
Update: The article was unnecessarily long and cluttered, so I cut it down a bit.
