Thank you for the quick response. I have been trying all those things. renamed both the ending movie for ED and the beginning movie for FOV. they don't play anymore but the game still crashes. I am really REALLY tired of hearing that guy in the crystal's speech now lol been about 20 times trying to get through this. I was able to open a new game in the xpac but it has half the hp and mana as my real character and 0 gear so its really going to suck if i have to use it. I think this thing corrupted my game somehow though. Cuz after it crashes I try to reload the saves I have in the last part of ED and they don't load the first couple of times. But yeah my resolution is dumbed way down on the game and my actual computer doing 1024x768 atm. hard to believe this used to be considered good lol
