--- Comment #12 from Adam Bolte boltronics@gmail.com 2013-01-19 18:51:59 CST --- Still an issue with 1.5.22. I've been able to play the game up until level 4 "Road Rage", but despite many attempts cannot get past this one without crashes.
If I load a save game from that level (just after the small cut-scene near the start), the game will crash the instant I move the mouse and/or keyboard immediately after it. If I don't touch the keyboard and mouse, I don't think it would ever crash - despite the smoke, dust, grass, trees and gun movement on the screen and hearing the sound effects of enemies and tremors.
If I start the level via Campaign -> Replay Mission -> Road Rage from the main menu, I can get further... but ultimately the level will still crash eventually. Usually within a few seconds, but sometimes I can get it running for maybe close to 2 minutes.
Attempts at working around this by disabling mmdevapi (which disables sound), or lowering the resolution even further (down to 800x600) had no effect. The crashes remain.
Would be interested to know if anyone else has managed to pass this level? The previous parts of the game didn't seem too unreliable when I lowered the resolution to 1280x720, so level 4 is the only real blocker at this point.
