Strange Load game crash

Hi

I have the anthology version of the game and I am playing Armageddon patched to ver1.2. The problem is that when I try to load a saved game, it will crash for a couple of times when i press "Start", but the same file will load without a problem if i try to load it once more after all these crashes. :wacko: The same thing happened after a clean install of the game.

Has anyone else encountered this? It seems very strange to me.

Thanks!

An update to my problem, it does the same crash even when I am trying to start a new game... Strange...

Post your hardware, etc.

I think that the above behavior started after I patched the game to 1.2 or at least I am absolutetly sure that pre patch (ver. 1.1) I had absolutely no problem with the game. What seemed strange to me is that the default directory that the patch was looking to be installed was d:\games\Doomsday but I have it in d:\games\Armageddon. So is it possible for the patch not to be correct?

My specs: Core2Duo E6550 on Asus P5K-E WiFi, 2GB RAM, GForce 8600 GT with latest drivers.

What seemed strange to me is that the default directory that the patch was looking to be installed was d:\games\Doomsday but I have it in d:\games\Armageddon.

D:\games\Doomsday is the installation path for the GamersGate version.

D:\games\Armageddon is the installation path for the Anthology version.

D:\games\Doomsday is the installation path for the GamersGate version.

D:\games\Armageddon is the installation path for the Anthology version.

So you mean that i have patched the game with the file for the GG version? Does this explain the game's erratic load behavior?
(The file I have is called HoI2DDArmageddonPatch1_2.exe and it is 9.484.926 bytes (9,263KB) large.)
