    I couldn't find anything that helped in either the readme or on any webpage I could find, so maybe someone here could help me with a problem.

    Yes, I know this game is a few years old, but anyway, I just started playing it, and it seems to be a great game, except for one thing. I'll be playing, and quite frequently the game will simply crash out to the desktop during fights. I can reload the game and continue, but having this happen every ten minutes or so is annoying the heck out of me.

    I have the latest patch. I do remember reading somewhere of a bug with RIVA TNT2 cards, and that running in software is supposed to fix the problem. It does not. Does anyone know what I could try to fix this problem?

    Try turning off hardware 3D sound as well.

    I tried that, and played it for a good four hours last night, so far no crashes. The graphics suck in software mode, but I can live with that. I'll post again if I have any more troubles.

    Thanks guys.

    If turning the 3D hardware sound off fixed the problem, maybe turning hardware graphics on again will work?

    With my video card (A RIVA TNT2), the readme file recommends against that.
