'Lo there.
I've been playing this fine game since Christmas now, and this is the first major issue I've had with it.
In the middle of playing the screen will just turn black on me and a box pops up saying "HoI 2 has encountered a problem and needs to close. Send Error Report. Don't Send."
This has happened to me many times before, but only at the end of a long period of uninterrupted playing, so I just assumed it was dumb of me to leave it on for 5 hours or so. Plus, my computer is filled with loads of free internet bollocks and old games that don't work or whatever, so I'm used to having minor problems like that and ignored it.
Now, however, this happens in one specific save at exactly the same time and date when exactly the same notifications are half-way through popping up.
Here's the stuff they asked for in the sticky. I'm a techno-retard, so cut me a little slack when it comes to specs:
- I got the non-Doomsday HoI 2 from White Label.
- Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 2 (build 2600)
- Dell Computer Corporation Dimension 4600i. I don't know what a CPU is. I'm getting all this from Belarc Advisor. Is this it? 3.00 gigahertz Intel Pentium 4
- I think this is RAM. 512 Megabytes Installed Memory
- Another guess selection. 185.31 Gigabytes Hard Drive Free Space
- NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200
- SoundMAX Integrated Digital Audio
Unimodem Half-Duplex Audio Device
I don't even know if all that was necessary.
Anyway, why does this keep happening at this specific point? Is the save corrupted or something?
