consistent crashes when trying to load area 3 (st george)

[bacon]

wondering if there is a way to run this game differently that will make it more stable. it's old, hasn't been patched for modern graphics drivers and operating systems.

i am getting consistent crashes when trying to load map 3, st george. crashes on loading screen after hanging up for about a minute.

I had the same issue and how I got pass it was to set the graphic options to minimum and then it worked. After I got there I save/quit and set the options back to maximum. Hope it works for you.

I had this issue too, but did not change settings. I let Steam verify the game files, loaded the game, warped to west gate and ran through it (did not press f). After that, the map loaded normally. Now I face the 1st "out of memory" crash. It's known and should appear sometimes randomly. Despite these annoyances, fantastic game. Unfortunately, it didn't worked/paid out for the devs.

That did the trick for me, too! Image settings to "low", go to fort St. George, save & quit, restore image settings, continue. Have fun!

Verifying files didn't work for me but this did ^.

Been getting the same crashes, happens basically every time I try to go to a new area. Turning down the graphics helps a lot but is not a guarantee. I also found that when fast travelling to another area, warping to the central camp (the place with the bell) was more likely to cause a crash. YMMV but now I travel to other places first, and then the central camp once I'm loaded in the map and it seems to work well.

Same crashing experience here.
