THe game keeps crashing randomly and keeps telling me "GetThreadContext failed".

"Yep, interim solution (until Unity fix) is to turn on Win Me / 98 compatibility mode for the game executable :) "

I was coming back to thank you for it actually working. You don't need to be rude about it.

[Captn Failbob]

How do you do that?

Here's the solution:

Right click the game in steam.
Click "Properties" from the drop down (last thing to click).
Click the "Local Files" tab.
Click "Browse local files.
Right click the "ThomasWasAlone" executable.
Click "Properties" from the drop down menu.
Click the "Compatibility" tab.
Check the box that says "Run this program in compatibility mode for:"
From the drop down, select "Windows 98 / Windows Me".

No more error. The game will have short spurts of lag, but at least you can play it without quitting every two levels.
