Just bought the game, Installed and went through the tutorials ok, thinking this game is what ive been looking for. Tried to start a campaign and crashed and BSOD as soon as I started loading my first convoy. Happened every time I tried.
Updated video drivers.... same problem.
Patched to 1.06.....same problem
Tried everything in these forums....Same problem

Any Ideas anyone?

Q6600, 9800GT Vista 32bit
 
Please post here the log.html from the folder the game is installed to.

The latest patch (Designer's Cut patch 1 v.1.12) can be found here (not yet available through the ingame "check for updates" -feature so the game won't notify about it): http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?t=450463

Please double check that the game is not running in the background when applying any patches.
 
I havent installed directors cut yet, just the small 1.06 patch. (the directors cut version is too bit to try and download on dialup)
However for some reason after leaving the game for a day it now gets about 10 minutes into the campaign and just crashes with the "this program is no longer working" bug. I suppose I should be happy its not BSOD anymore :confused:
