F.E.A.R. freezing at the first loading thing
Whenever I try to make a new game at any difficulty (should that matter), the game will hit the loading screen, load about 1/3 of the way, and stop loading, freezign up, and often times making it so i can't alt tab or ctrl, alt, delete my way out either, forcing me to restart, every time I try.

I have an Athlon 2 Quad core, a 9800 GT, Windows 7 64-bit, 4 gb of ram.

Anyone know what I can do to fix it? My game is basically unplayable at the moment. :<

It is on steam btw.

I had no trouble with loading, but the game was so slow (fps) under Win7 that it was just as unplayable. Yet when I google FEAR and Windows 7, most people say it works just fine under Win7. So I don't know.

I've got Windows 7, and last time I played the Steam version of F.E.A.R., it worked just fine. Try a clean install, update your drivers, and check the forums.

i've been playing FEAR on win7 for the past few days just fine.  it's the disk version though.  it does force windows themes off and take a fairly long time to exit though.
I like to stare at the sun.
