1.06c Crash Help

[Castellon]

The release notes says that you should uninstall HoI, install again, and apply 1.06c patch.

If you applied 1.06c on top of 1.05c, that may be the problem.

He says he has uninstalled and reinstalled "5 times atleast" So I doubt another time is going to make any difference here.

Ever since I installed 1.06c it has been crashing..alot.

Friend and I were playing a game..when I installed 1.06c..it would start crashing at the "creating/loading game" screen there.

We had been playing a game from 1.05c..thought that might be it..started a new one..seemed to work till we go to load the save today and it crashes as well.

It crashes as soon as I hit start, in single and multiplayer. In the game we were playing before the patch and that continued after the game would also crash for me everytime we annex'd a country.

We have both uninstalled, and reinstalled a few times....5 times at least for...and the installs were proper 1.06c installs.
Anyone have ANY idea on what to do?
Thanks alot.

The game does load..it loads roughly 10 percent of the time, and it is very random on when it loads.

Are you experiancing any problems with SP only games?

Installing the patch may have changed the res you were running the game in?

You could try different refresh rates, Also make sure you have done the following:
1) Rename the AVI folder to AVI_back
2) Set the color depth to 16BIT
3) Turn off everything in the background like E-mail/ICQ/Messenger, Virus protection and everything in the system tray beside the clock.

Looks like we posted at the same time.
Yup a standard thing when encountering any problem is to update windows fully then update video and sound drivers.

Not only does it skip the intros it stops the BInk player from loading into the system at all, It is the Bink player which causes problems often because it fails to unload from memory properly and can cause crashes even in game.
