(Note to tech gods: my preamble is long, but all the required info is in this post, please don't run away at the volume of this post, I just wanted to be as thorough as I possibly could)
Apologies for the similarity to this thread, but my situation is not quite the same, so I figured that I would create a new thread. (Mods, if this should be in the above thread, please move it there, thanks)
Anyway, here is what is happening to me:
I got this game about 10 days ago from Gamersgate.com and I am LOVING it. A friend of mine turned me onto it and he is currently teaching me how to play. We are both playing as Germany in the 1936 campaign. Currently, it is August 4, 1941 and we are 1 month into our offensive into the Soviet Union. I had some issues in the beginning with my router, but having perused these forums, I found out what ports to forward and all has been fantastic since. My friend is not behind a firewall/router (yes, I yell at him all the time
) but if we pause for more than a minute, I lose the connection, but I can work around that. I say all of this just to add to the situation so that any of you HoI2 tech gods know every variable that I can provide.
OK, preamble complete, here is the crux of my problem: Until this evening, everything ran perfectly, but once we started the attack into Russia, I will crash to the desktop within 30 seconds of resuming the game. And it does not matter if it is the latest savegame or one from last week. Oddly enough, I can load the same savegame in single player and it will not crash. It also makes no difference if my friend sends me the .eug file via email, dcc (irc), in-game transfer and it makes no matter if it is compressed at all (rar/zip/7zip, etc) but again, the game plays fine in single player. So, given all of that, I (obviously) can point to multi-player as the source of the issue.
I am linking my DXDiag info, and posting my settings.cfg and the windows event log that I get when it crashes, any help would be great.
One final note: I have completely (manually and automatically) un-installed the game and it makes no difference.

Date: 2/26/2008
Time: 8:30:09 PM
Type: Error
User: N/A
Computer: NEUTRON
Source: Application Error
Category: None
Event ID: 1000
Text of event:
Faulting application hoi2.exe, version 1.0.0.1, faulting module hoi2.exe, version 1.0.0.1, fault address 0x000bc002
And, as usual, Microsoft support basically tells me: "An application has encountered a problem and you can now go die in a fire"
I hope this is enough information to help start anyone brave enough to help me troubleshoot this issue. Thank you in advance.
(Note: I destroyed the character limit with the DXDiag info in here, so here's a link to my DXDiag.txt , if there's a way to bypass that, I have no idea how)
Sorry, I made the links blue because white/light grey text makes seeing links difficult.
wow, I talk too much...
