Crash? Crashing.

[Sparksol]

Whatever is going on, sometimes the game just locks up; during loading, during cutscenes, or even while just running around on a map. Everything comes to a stop. I can usually alt-tab out or bring up the task manager, and then I can hear the game pause and start playing again - but then the visuals never return, and they stay nonexistent until I restart the computer.

I've tried playing with various compatability settings, and also with each different processor core affinity. I've also tried updating drivers, using older and newer drivers, even running the game outside of Steam (which I was surprised could happen) but even that didn't help with everything just freezing up.

I'm having the same problem. It worked fine before that last update, but sine trading cards have been added it crashes all the time.

Yeap same here. Initially I couldn't get past the main menu without crashing. Tried reinstalling, then verified game cache (which found a missing file) which then let me start a new game. But now it crashes when I try to choose a 'bunk' for a save file. :(

Can you guys try setting Psychonauts to Windows 95 compatibility and see if it still crashes? This is a temporary workaround, but it might help inform us what's going on.

Still locks up for me after less than ten minutes. Unfortunate.

I was having the same issue. Setting the game to Windows 95 compatibility as mentioned above seems to work.

[Kuuber]

Set it to windows 95

Setting to Win95 compatibility mode seems to have stopped the crashing for me.

[Sparksol]

Still locking up for me. As a side note, it did this even before the cards came out.

Windows 95 compatability is working fine for me, no crashes!

Win95 Compatability worked, but I found that it made the sound stutter pretty badly. WinXP SP3 compatability fixed both the crashing and the stuttering for me.
