Post by nibot »

Hi All,

After I finish the "Calling Dr Grout" level, and jump out the window of the mansion and go to the gates to exit the level, my PC crashes to the desktop!!
VERY ANNOYING

My PC meets the minimum specs Ok, I have the latest drivers and the 1.2 patch. I'm playing as Nosferatu!! I've tried all combo's of graphic settings, but to no avail...I've tried 'killing" all none essential Windows apps. - still no luck :( PLEASE HELP....I'm really enjoying this game!!

Here's part of the crash log:

WOO HOO

I managed to stumble across a workaround to fix my "crashing to desktop" problem at the end of "Calling Dr Grout"

Using the console commands....I found one called "vgender_int"....it changes the sex of your character. God knows why....but it allowed me to proceed to the next load screen......then used "vgender_int" to change back (nuthin like a quick sex change...hehe)

Pure ARSE on my behalf

YAY....know back to the game

BTW...none of the patches or recommendations for pagefile helped :(

I would have just told you to use console to teleoprt to the next area and complete the quest, but if it's a sex change you want, it's whatever floats your boat...
