Hi, I'm running WA on Windows XP and have downloaded the latest patch, and all runs fine, until I reach the end of a match/training mission, and instead of loading back to the menus, the game crashes back to the Windows desktop.

Anyone have any idea why this is happening, and how to solve it?

Thanks in advance.

I've heard of an illegal, cracked version of W:A which exactly have this error.
Did you buy or download the game?

Bought it, the SoldOut version.

This fault is really annoying as the gameplay is actually fine, it just means whenever I complete a level nothing gets saved as it crashes as soon as the level ends.

Have you tried reinstalling? If that's too much hassle then it might be worth waiting for better advice, but reinstalling tends to fix a lot of problems. I've not heard of this problem before so I can't offer anything better.

Well given that Hysteria86 reinstalled and still experiences the problem, my guess would be no (for him at least).

Does this only happen with missions and training, Hysteria86? It might not be a solution but you could always use this program (http://www.nanacide.com/wahelp/tpp-teamed.php) to unlock everything, so you get all the options that the missions would normally give you. You'd still have the problem of a crash every time you tried a mission, but at least you only need to do each mission once to get the full experience ;) (unless you fail it...hmm).

It happens with everything, missions, training, deathmatch, multiplayer game....

All I've added to the original game was the v3.6.26.5 patch.

Don't suppose this is anything to do with the graphics card is it? (S3 Graphics ProSavageDDR). I've had problems with other games due to it but they were mainly graphics based (blurry text etc), this terminates the program.

Yeah I know :( I've looked about and I can't really find a worthwhile upgrade for it either. May see about changing it as its restricted me from about 3 or 4 games now.

Just seems weird that the game runs fine, there's no glitches in the gameplay, menus, anything. Just randomly closes the program at the end of a level :confused:

Does the same thing happen when you quit a game through the quit menu instead of waiting for it to end?

Yeah the same thing happens every single time I leave a level :(

Do you have another computer to try running it on? It could be an error of the CD rather than the computer. I very much doubt it, but we can at least rule it out.
