Woah... quite empty here, so I hope Im not the only one having this problem.

Well... Im at Mission 3 now, and my game tends to crash to desktop without telling me a reason or giving an error message. Vista only says that it hade a problem and didnt work correctly. Now that I tried to complete it a thousand times Im really tired of it, I could do it while sleeping if the game would LET me.
Sometimes it crashes right on start of Mission 3, and sometimes it does while entering the room with the large table in it in Fortuna Castle. (The one that leads to floor with that fireball popping up) The problem is that you can never say WHEN or IF it will happen. Sometimes you can enter and leave and enter a few times and then, if youre almost done you come back there with all good hopes and you crash to desktop again. Thats despeairing. Q_Q

Im running Windows Vista Ultimate x64 (The install is ONE week old) with all updates out there,
An Intel Core 2 Duo processor @ 2,66Ghz,
4GB of DDR2 PC 800 Ram in Dualchannel mode,
A nVidia Geforce 8600GT with 512MB of vRam
And I do have enough space on my HDD...
And Im playing on Direct X9 Mode (Dun like DX10 ^^)

It would be nice if anyone could help me. I really love the game and want to go on without starting to hate mission 3... Q_Q

Meh... Okay... seems to be the way one deals with the game.
The direct way doesnt cause any problems, running around in areas that are useless at a certain time seems to cause the game to crash whyever... Im at Mission 5 now and it worked fine for me until now. (After coosing the direct way. xD)

All I can think to suggest at the moment would be to visit NVidias site and make sure you have the latest drive for your graphics card.
If youre on Vista though, Id suggest at least trying it under DX10.

The problem wa that the newest nVidia drivers caused the game to crash even more. I used the older version again. And DX10? Never... :P

Although it doesnt make any difference in crashing to desktop... It seems to be like that with every 2nd-3rd mission, and I dont reall know why. It crashes a few times (up to six times or until I give up) at different plaes and sometimes even during cutscenes... Its quite annoying if you have to redo everything. But it seems that it works after rebooting, because every next morning I tried it worke well again for some time. I managed to finish the game anyway. ^.^ Have to beat it on SoS now. :D
