I have a technical problem that I need your help with please.

Game Version & Patch (incl. publisher): I am using Deus Vult Version 2.1 Beta (October 15th 2008) - Purchased from GamersGate

OS & build/SP: Microsoft XP Professional / Service Pack 3 Build 2600

Computer, CPU & speed: Dell DM051, Intel Pentium D CPU 2.80GHz (2 CPUs)

RAM: 2046MB Ram

Free HDD space: 20.8 GB

Video (brand, model, driver, memory): NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GT w/ driver v6.14.0011.8208 and 256 Video RAM

Sound (brand, model, driver): SigmaTel Audio w/ driver v5.10.4548.0000

DirectX Version: Direct X v9.0c (4.09.0000.0904)

Sticky Mention: I have read the sticky and believe this is all the information you need. I'll do what I can to provide anything else needed.

I am having the following problem:

I am getting random (do not occur on a specific date) CTDs during play. My first thought was that it might be the DVIP causing my problem. But even with a clean, vanilla, beta install I'm still getting CTDs. Of note - I have two full "Backup" versions of CK on my PC. One is a clean install and one is a modded install where I don't want to lose certain modded files. Should I delete all those files as well?

Here's the data from my exceptions file:

Code:
######## EXCEPTION: 0xC0000005 at address: 0x0058AAA6: ACCESS VIOLATION  read attempt to address 0x00000214 
07/16/09 21:43:50
SymGetLineFromAddr(): GetLastError = 126

StackWalk(): GetLastError = 487

Any help would be a dream! CTDs didn't used to happen and I'm getting a bit antsy. Thanks!
 
Thank you!

Is there no quick fix because of my machine set up, or are these CTDs just that common?

AFAIK the ctd's aren't that common anymore with the latest betapatch, but since you get them it isn't much of a comfort for you of course.

You could try to update your video and soundcarddrivers, maybe that helps.
