EVERY SINGLE TIME I'VE TRIED TO PLAY IT CRASHES!!! I redownloaded my gaem from steam, play it one time, then I installed some graphically improving mods (geforce 6200 p4) like Operation Optimization, got 100 fps in the first dungeon in the game, go outside... crashes. I uninstalled it completely, crashes. NO MODS AT ALL, crashes. Does anyone have an idea of what is going on here, I'd hate to have wasted my money on such an epic game.

What are your system specs?

If you aren't kidding about a Geforce 6200, it was part of the reason that the 1.1 patch included the Extra Super Low Quality setting. That was such a bad video card, it couldn't run the game properly outside of the tutorial caverns without the patch.

I'm not kidding, I'm getting a boss gaming PC for christmas (already got the ATI Radeon 5670, for $80 even!) but I don't want to wait till christmas to play it. Plus I have the Steam version which is 1.2_416 or something. It's 1.2 something, I always just played 640x480 max textures, and none of anything else lol.
