Crashes on Cutscenes...
...I can't finish Mission 4: Escape from Manhattan. But its not because I can't reach Benford Base. Far from it--I've reached the same point, over ten times, and it always goes to the cutscene, with Juni, Trent, and the scientist (can't think of his name) as they discuss the artifact they've found. There appears to be no way to escape from the cutscene, and that's my problem. It crashes at the exact same instant--EVERY time.
Right after Juni expresses misgivings about keeping the artifact, Trent says "We cant get rid of it now. There’s a reason for all this and we’re in the middle of it.” After this last word, my computer promptly dumps me to windows. No explanation. No error message. Nothing hanging or seeming wrong in the game up to this point. And it does it every time. Essentially, a game stopping bug--I can't progress further without being able to get past this scene.
General system specs are as follows:
AMD Athlon 1200 MHZ
512 meg of ram
GeForce 4 Ti-4200 (do not have latest drivers, which reportedly don't work in FL)
Windows XP
Creative SB Live!
Direct X 9.0
Any ideas on how to remedy this problem, or what might be causing it? Any help would be appreciated.
