Umm...hello! Bent Mai <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" /> and welcome to the forum

Hi there, first post for me here <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
This game is full of bugs.
I can't stand it any longer...
Just bought it from a mate and now that I am starting to enjoy it, it continues crashing to windows.
No way to understand when it crashes, just random problems with no messages, just a windows drop <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />
Is it possible that it is so buggy ?
Tried all your solutions I found on the forum, also uninstalled the game today, but no changes <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/down.gif" alt="" />

am i one of the lucky people who never found a bug?

Welcome to the Forum <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />

You say you bought the game, and installed it on your comp, and did you get it patched, before starting any games?
Did you try to adjust any of the options from the configtool?
Did you try a scandisk, and a defrag, shutdown, restart....then reinstall?
Any taskbar (hidden) programs running in bkg?

Hello to you <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />
I installed the game on my PC, patched it and started playing. When I found myself repeatedly crashing back to windows with no notice, I tried changing between resolutions, selecting and deselecting smoothness etc.
Then I came to this forum and read everything I found about the problem.
Yesterday I uninstalled and reinstalled the game and still nothing changed <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/sad.gif" alt="" />
I already did a scandisk, defrag and various restarts.
About my bkg running programs, tried to close them using task manager and nothing changed <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />
Now I really do not know what to do. It is really frustrating to play for 5 min. and then when I try to save or whatever I do, the game simply crashes to my desktop.

could it be a virus file, or bad disk pressing....
you are using the original disks right! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Come now Jurak, nobody would post on this forum with a Warez disk! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/suspicion.gif" alt="" /> I am not using the 1.34 patch, but the 1.32. I have a understanding with my <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" />.
I shut down everything. I mean everything not essential to the OS. Any program that does random updates will throw you out. Messenger programs especially. Firewalls, virus scanners, all of them. Off. Every now and then I will get a freeze while looking at multiple inventory screens, but I save so often it is not a big deal to load a save. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" /> wants everything your computer has to give. I give it. As long as I remember to shut everything off, <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" /> and I get along fine...

there we go.. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/idea.gif" alt="" /> ...you heard it here first folks.... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />

...Uh, straight from the horse's mouth, so to speak! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/suspicion.gif" alt="" />

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

I finally solved my problems.
The pc started rebooting at random times also after finishing playing DD.
At the end, I thought it should be some hardware prob, as I did not have any virus on my pc.
It came out to be one of my Rams (I do have 2x512 MB) which caused several problems. As soon as I took it out everything started working properly and I did not have random crashes every 5 min. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
Thanks for your help and sorry to have thought at once about the program itself...
Have fun <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
