Any chance you are running the game with german subtitles?

Yes, I'm running with german subtitles, but what has it to do with the crash?

Using another language than English is unsupported, so it is on a if it works it works if it doesn't it doesn't basis. You can try this thread tip http://www.frictionalgames.com/forum/thr...l#pid25070 and see if that helps!

Thanks, it helped, though I had to start a new game.

I'd appreciate if this can be fixed in the engine.
