Hey, thanks. Been lurking for many months (playing MTW).

Anyhow, I think the patch was installed... I've since reinstalled everything, though I'm almost afraid to start another campaign 'just to see,' incase the same thing happens again... (after reinstalling, I re-copied the old saves, the same crash kept occuring)


I have a dual-boot system (both 2K), one partition 'gaming' for games, the other 'filmmaking,' for short films, videography, etc. I put all my games on the gaming system. However, some games (MOH:Pacific, Doom) and RTW won't play with emulation/clone cd running... but I never know this until I already install into the 'gaming' OS and try to play the game.

So...

I booted into the 'filmmaking' OS, then installed RTW there... HOWEVER, I re-installed into the pre-existing RTW folder in the 'gaming' OS (it has much more disk space, and also, when I've done that before, the "installation" is really, really fast; almost like all it does is verify all the files, and re-establish a shortcut to the 'filmmaking' OS.)

That's what it did with MOH and Doom, and they never had any problems. Anyhow, when this crashing started, I re-read the patch readme, then for whatever reason, tried to re-installed it, and it claimed it couldn't find a valid installation (though I'm sure I'd already installed it the first time, (well, 2nd technically) from the 'filmmaking' OS.)

Anyhow, this is complicated... I guess I should just try another campaign and see what happens...

will report back if/when it happens
