Ok, I upgraded from 1.6.1 to 1.7.1. Now the game crashes immediately upon opening. Ditto after a reboot.
Yes, I used to run this on my old Windows 2000 machine, and it didn't crash like this. Certainly you could play an entire game without it crashing.
Could you please install debug symbols? It looks like it's crashing in wined3d instead of the game code now.
