I've compiled a nice list of things that I've done/have because I've seen them given as reasons and excuses as to why the game's crashing before:
- I have the latest beta nVidia drivers. I've also tried the latest non-beta drivers, and the ones before that. None of them are any different with regards to this issue.
- Nothing is overheating. I've checked my temps with GPU-Z.
- I've tried the random sound fix that involves changing to 44KHz or something like that. It didn't help.
- I've tried disabling vsync. It didn't help.
- I've tried both my external creative soundcard (pc-express slot one) and my internal realtek soundcard. No difference - in fact, I found the game crashes slightly more when I'm using the creative soundcard.
- My system's more than capable of running this game (and it runs it perfectly on high settings, very high FPS, very smooth gameplay).
Specs
----------
Intel Core 2 Extreme X9100 @ 3.06 GHz or 3.47GHz (actually unsure about this, I think because it's an Extreme CPU the bios automatically overclocks it up to 3.47 GHz)
4 GB RAM
nVidia 280M GTX 1GB
Windows 7
Any help would be greatly appreciated! I've seen this happen to a lot of other people so I don't think it's a specific issue with my system.
