In "Strong Badia the Free" near the end (I think) after you Rally your Troops at Marzipan's house, and you Hop the white picket fense, I get a game crash half the time, and a BSOD the other half. Basically, just as the screen freezes, and starts to look like an inspirational poster.

I've tried this on 2 of my computers, and the results are the same on both. No real crashes or bugs anywhere else that I've seen so far.

Running WinXp, nothing unusual.

Usually BSODs have some sort of error message on them, do you know what yours said?

As far as I could tell, it get a Device Error. Possibly Video card related... but it ONLY occurs at that single point in the game, and happens to 2 other computers in my house, all with different Hardward/Video cards, etc etc.. I've tried to progress past it around 20+ times now, give or take.
I've tried different video sizes/qualities, no change.

I also Re-downloaded and Re-installed (clean) just in case. Maybe it hates me?
I think I was at/near the end anyway, so i'm not missing that much. although, I got to that point on the night of the release. (yeah, I'm a fan)

Thanks anyway if I don't resolve this issue. :)

That's definitely odd that it is happening on two computers. Is there any commonality between the two computers? Same video card, etc?

My first suggestion would be to update your graphics drivers and DirectX, but it is definitely odd it is happening on two computers. Are you using the same save file for all of your tests?

I had the exact same Problem! His "roulette" wheel of possible name or whatever is totally black before/during and after he spins it. I got past it by trial and error.
