So, I've waited for TW:EE for months since I hoped it would fix all the crashes on my machine since it prevents me from playing. I haven't even completed chapter 3 yet. :wall:I'll just describe my problem and hope that some kind soul out there is able to help me. :angel:I've already searched the forum for this/these problems but haven't found any answers that solves anything so I figured I create my own topic at last.I'm running Windows Vista (32-bit) on a HP laptop (HP Pavilion dv9380) on the resolution 1440x900 with everything on low except for textures and lighting quality that is on highest with a decent framerate and no lagg. I haven't been able to complete the prologue yet with EE because of the crashes so I haven't been able to analyze my problems very well.So, the game crashes randomly when opening inventory, I believe that happened even before EE to some people including me, haven't ever found any solution to this problem though.But that is not my major problem, I can live with it, so keep reading.There is also two more crashes that seem to always occur, the first is when you ask Eskel if he feels at home at Kaer Morhen, before you make the potion for Triss, at the end of the conversation the game always crashes no matter what I do, although all the other conversation options work fine. The second crash is right after you have gotten your armor and sword from Vesemir and asked him about the celandine and is asked to skin the frightener, the game works fine right after the conversation but after a short while OR if I open the menu to save, it crashes, no matter what I do. THAT is what prevents me from continuing, what do I know? Maybe I'll get rid of the crashes if I manage to complete the prologue. :
I suspect the crashes is because of my sound card (or the way it's configured) so I have tried to disable the sound in-game or just turning off environmental effects to see if it makes any difference, it doesn't (This isn't a EAX problems since I can't even check the option to use EAX). Can't turn of hardware acceleration off either because of that sound is handled in a different way on Vista or something.Haven't ever had those problems before (except for the inventory/journal problem). When I first got the game it was very little crashes and it worked fine until the 1.3 patch came. And that were just some more random crashes in game play that were helped by lowering resolution and graphics.So, I believe that describes my problem(s), I included a PC Wizard log too. If you need to know anything more, just ask!P.S PC Wizard always crashes when I make a log, but I believe what I got out of it is everything, I wasn't able to check the box for "With the drivers information" either, for some reason. Edit: All drivers are up to date and downloaded from HP.Thanks in advance/Johen
