As per the previous thread, this is what we've identified as the issues and this is what we're looking into seeing if we can resolve.
These all apply to single core machines, or dual core machines where only one logical core is found from the OS.
1. Load Bink Videos freeze
a. With the shipped version of the game loading bink videos will freeze part way in, and halt progress of the game. The game’s process needs to be killed to exit this state.
2. Stuttering Bink Videos
a. With a single core processor, non-loading bink videos will severely stutter. This was observed by users who used a workaround single frame bink file to avoid the loading bink issue.
3. Permanent Black Screen / Game Freeze When Entering the Citadel
a. When the user attempts to land on the citadel, on a single core PC, the user will encounter a permanent black screen. This was observed by users who have used the –nomovies command line parameter when running the game. Users who used the 1 frame bink file are able to avoid this issue by reportedly saving the game just prior to enter the citadel, loading that save, and entering the Citadel.
4. The user is unable ot progress past obtaining the IFF
a. When the user attempts to obtain the IFF, he is unable to progress to the remainder of the game. This is experienced on single core processor PCs once more.
Please note that any posts not offering constructive feedback with regards to these identified issues will be moderated. If you have issues that are not related to the above items, please start a new applicable thread.

I just wanted to update again and let you all know that we are currently working on a fix for this.
The fix will address the largest issues found here, with the caveat that there still might be some unaddressable remaining issues.
The caveats are as follows:
- Single core users may experience short periods of black screen that may last up a few seconds between level loads, cinematic transitions or movies.
- In rare cases, some single core users may notice dialog lines in certain conversations may be delayed up to a few seconds.
Once again, we are trying to help you all as much as possible and are trying to get you up and running with the game. This is still, however, an issue that only exists with machines below min spec (whether the OS only detects a single core, or there is actually only one single hardware core).
ETA will be forthcoming as soon as we have our schedule set.
