I see that many people are still experiencing CTDs, but was there a fix for the BSODs that I somehow missed? I updated my 9800gtx + with the latest drivers, turned off AA and AF, and disabled audio codecs not from microsoft; but the BSOD continue. According to the program WhoCrashed, the error is caused by the Creative Audigy 4 WDM driver hap17v2k.sys. Anyone know anything about this? Can I delete it or disable it somehow? I disabled the entire card in the device manager, but the F:NV wouldn't start as there was "no sound card detected." I hope someone can help me as I am at the end of my rope with this game.

Thanks! :brokencomputer:

A blue screen usually indicates a driver or hardware issue. How up-to-date is your sound card driver? How is the stability in other games?
Try to install the latest directX run-times.

Did you disable your onboard sound device in your bios? Maybe there is a conflict if both the onboard and soundblaster are trying to process the audio. Perhaps try re-installing your sound card and updating the Creative drivers. As always posting a Dxdiag can sometimes be useful. http://support.creative.com/Products/ProductDetails.aspx?catID=1&subCatID=205&prodID=14103&prodName=Audigy 4&subCatName=Audigy&CatName=Sound+Blaster&VARSET=prodfaq:PRODFAQ_14103,VARSET=CategoryID:1.

Also knowing which exact BSOD it is helps in troubleshooting this issue.
