Loading quick Save game Crashes

[MRXNY]

90% of the time I try to load a quick same game from the main menu, it loads about half way on the loading bar the game disappears off my screen.

I have to keep trying different past saves until one works. What gives?!

I have a P4 3.0
1,000+ RAM 3200
200 GB hard drive
128 MB Geforce card, I updated the drivers

this cant be my computer, its the **** buggy game

I have the same problem on the Train Station level.
I also have trouble loading past saved games.

My game version is Painkiller Gold 1.64
Using a properly cooled Asus A8V, AMD Athlon 64 3500+, 1GB Corsair TWINX PC3200, BFG GeForce FX 6800 Ultra, SB Audigy 2 Gamer.

The game crashes on Quickloads, regular loads and loading Autosaves. The crash is consistent and predictable which should make it easy to debug.

When the game crashes, I get this error message :

The instruction at "0x2112de1a" referenced memory at "0x03ce4ad0". The memory could not be "read". Click OK to terminate thr program.

I can go back and find saved games that work but all subsequent saves do not work.

P.S. I patched to 1.64 before playing and before saving any games...so I am not dealing with an issue of trying to load games saved with an earlier patch level.

I have the same problem during save game. I tried quick save and save game too. If i try to save i get an application error message and a corrupt save.

I found this problem on train station level, at the ticket offices. Almost at the and of the level.

v1.64

How many quicksaves do you guys have in the savegame folder? You´ll get problems if it goes past 999.

[BoGab]

I have ~10 quick saves. Less because some of them became corrupt...

The last directory name is 065.

I don't have 999 save games :D

I tried to go on, but the autosave made an application error too :(

[BoGab]

I think problem solved. I had to load another quicksave. But I don't really understand it, because the last 3 quicksave made the error but the 4th didn't.

Thanks for your help! :)

Hey!! :D Welcome to the Forums, BoGab! * waves * :)

I can't help You with that, but I thought I must welcome another fellow HWSW.hu-Member here! ;)

[BoGab]

Thanks :D

Sometimes in English, sometimes in Hungarian? :D

Fashinating how all languages in Europe come from the same ancient people.

But this problem sounds weird nontheless. Maybe the patching had something to do with it?

[BoGab]

I have the newest patch installed. (First post last line v1.64 :D )

I hope this problem won't mess the other levels.

My windows XP is almost 1 year old, maybe it't too ... tired? :D

But other games don't freez or something...

I have newest drivers.

[Bjossi]

My WinXP is 3 years old and the saving works fine for me.
Have you tried to use manual saving?

[BoGab]

Yes I tried!
It made an application error.
I tried to go on to have an autosave but that was corrupt too.
As I wrote the 4th quick save was fine so I moved on.

Abandoned Factory - No problem
Military Base - No problem
Ruins - No problem
Castle - No problem

Maybe it's a bug on the Train station level.

[Bjossi]

That may be so, but I never experienced it.
Strange.
