I keep crashing at the same place and can't get round it, very frustrating even after 1.2 patch. The place is where you finish fighting several 'squids' for the first time in a storm drain, when you leave the level (up some stairs), there's an animation of the suit modifying itself and you have to meet up near the bridge.

I'm not the only person so it isn't my hardware.

Here's the error message:-

Faulting application Crysis2.exe, version 1.2.0.0, time stamp 0x00000000, faulting module Crysis2.exe, version 1.2.0.0, time stamp 0x00000000, exception code 0xc0000005, fault offset 0x008e549f, process id 0xa74, application start time 0x01cbf3090cdc879d.

I get also a crash to desktop at a certain point in the single player campaign (save point "72 Power Out"). Summary from the event log:

Faulting application name: Crysis2.exe, version: 1.2.0.0, time stamp: 0x00000000
Faulting module name: Crysis2.exe, version: 1.2.0.0, time stamp: 0x00000000
Exception code: 0xc0000005
Fault offset: 0x008e549f

The crash occurs after the short sequence of entering an alien spear and then making it with a jump onto a vtol. Then it shows a short video sequence explaining the derailed train and that I have to meet at the Prism, and then crash. On another crash I just played the sequence once more, but here it always crashes (perhaps because its in a fixed scripted sequence).

Right now I can't continue the single player campaign. What should I do?

Edit: Some searching with google shows I am not alone. Another user gets a crash at exactly the same location in the single player campaign. It's documented with screens here: http://www.overclock.net/pc-games/982936-need-help-crysis-2-bad.html

I think something in the saved game state makes Crysis corrupt when loading. Because the crash happens whenever I load the "72 Power Out" save point and try to exit the current game. It does no exit back to the main menu, but instead crashes to the desktop. This happens at any point when exiting from the "72 Power Out" save point, obviously as well when the game tries to exit from it after the video. Also playing the game once more from the 71 save point did not fix the problem.

In my case I could avoid the problem by starting the game with the "Replay Mission" option from the menu, as the next chapter "Eye of the Storm" is already selectable.
