new patch = crashing

[plutomaniac]

Okay I see the windows 2000 bit in the errorlog and that is bizarre, I've never even had 2000 on this machine in the past. I guess the crash/error program that comes up got confused? I've no idea it's very odd.

I'm going to go see if I can see the other save games and then try loading one.

I cannot download a previous version of the game, steam only has the new one, so I think I won't be able to try your method though

ok try that. My method though, the trick actually, is not that. I'm quoting what I said the first time the idea came to me:

***I also have another more crazy-like idea since option 2 is difficult to be done because v1.2 is the second patch and steam autoupdates to the latest one. What if we tried to manually install v1.0.1 update which you had before by copying its files to game folder? I still have the update. But first you would have to install the game again as v1.0 and then do that. But try option 1 first***

Oh I see the problem, yes sorry about that. You cannot install the game as v1.0 because Steam etc... Mmm, don't worry I'll think of something.

Actually you have nothing to lose. We will manually install v1.0.1 over v1.2 and I'm sure it will work. You must though disable steam from autoupdating in order to do that successfully. Tell me whether you could load to a previous save game and if nothing else works we will try the above.
