Hello everyone, My friend and I have been playing SoaSE for a while now and enjoying it. However, at exactly 3 hours 18 minutes and 5 seconds, my friend crashed. The game freezes, at which point he has to alt tab, click "ok" on a minidump error, and then the game crashes out. At first we figured it was random, so we tried again, but it crashed at the exact same point.

He has a 7950gt, athlon x2 3800+, 2gb of ddr2 ram, asus m2n-sli deluxe nforce 570 sli, Windows XP. None of it is overclocked and he's not having issues with other games. He re-installed to the newest video drivers, sound drivers, and then re-installed the game. None of this has fixed it, the error always occurs at the same point in the MP game.

Now the fact that this occurs at the same point in the game regardless of what he has done so far makes me believe it is an issue with the game and maybe the nvidia/creative drivers. Today we'll try lowering his graphics when we both get off work, since I noticed that helped others with some issues. Has anyone else experienced this exact type of problem, where the game crashes with a minidump at the same point in the game?

When he crashes I'm able to continue playing with no issue and no crashes until completion, so its definitely something going on between him and the game.
