CTD, Spanish version 1.07

[unmerged(3043)]

I am getting a CTD every 6-18 months of game time. I have updated my drivers, DirectX and I just bought the game so my install of patch 1.07 is clean. What gives?

I´m running on WinXP and a Radeon 9000 graphics card.

Also, I was careful to download the Spanish patch.

It could be one of a couple things.

First solution to try is to rename the avi folder to avi_old to disable the Binkplayer that plays the opening splash screens. this causes problems with some systems by not unloading correctly.

There were also a few errors in previous versions of the Spanish text.csv file that might not have been corrected properly so have a look at this thread for instructions on how to fix. There might also be a more recent thread or two in the Spanish forum about this so have a look there as well.

I hope one of those solves the problem.

Here's some feedback from celedhring, one of our friendly Spanish Forum mods whom I asked about this...

Thanks MrT. It was the WinXP-Bink incompability. I´m still having CTDs but they are hours appart so it´s not a problem anymore. I would have said thanks before, BUT I was playing all this time....

No problem.
