Frequent game crashes solution
Posted: Sat Dec 31, 2005 2:59 am
There seems to be a problem involving BoB2 with TIR and Windows XP SP2 that causes intermittent crashes in the game. I've been having this problem for some time but found what seems to be a solution here:

Apparantly it has to do with DEP (Data Execution Prevention) introduced in service pack 2 for winXP. The link shows how you can put BoB2 as an "exception" thereby eliminating the related crashes.
I've only tried BoB2 a couple times so far since implementing this fix without crashing so I can't verify whether it works or not but so far so good.
