crashes after intro need save game right after

[tservo]

even after installing the patch, requiem crashes after the computer howling dog sequence at the loading screen with error:exception access violation in module requiem.exe 001b: 005015b5 . i have vista 32bit and way exceed the requirements. I have the absolute latest certified nvidia drivers and creative sound drivers. Can someone e-mail me a save game right after the open intro to see if i can load agame after the intro b4 it crashes.thanks rnestola@comcast.net
ps black plague and epis 1 work just fine

Where did you buy requiem from?

Not sure what might be the problem? How many times have you tried? Does it always crash at the exact same spot?

bought it from gamersgate. I re downloaded and reinstalled it. same exact error. I turned on and off all seettings in video and audio and restarted the game at least 15 times with different settings. Crashes right after the loading screen about the walking quote. Same spot same error.

There is something wrong with your installation.

Can you see if this file exits:
"models/corpse/corpse_scientist_bump.jpg"
(look in the redist directory of the installation folder)

Are you sure that Black Plague was installed properly? Perhaps you need to reinstall black plague too.

The file structure looks very strange. Where did you buy black plague from?

both plague & requiem from gamersgate download--i uninstalled both plague and requiem and am re-downloading both and will try a fresh install with both. I will post what happens later tonight.

[tservo]

hi again I re-downloaded both plague & requiem. I uninstalled both and reinstalled them and now requiem works just fine. I think you were right that somehow the first install was coruppted or badly installed etc. thanks for your help now I can finish the trilogy.
