The stupid game keeps crashing at random points, its freakin irritating!
I removed the GPU OC, tried compatibilty mode w/ admin rights...
Could this be something to do w/ ATI cards? I'm running 4890 on v3.6
Here's the game crash log

Please advice..
TIA
 
That's not the reason for the crash, I can guarantee you on that. I don't think we can help any further now that you have mentioned the source of the copy.

actually, you can't. just because the cracked version worked for you, that doesn't necessarily mean it can't mess up another installation. without going into too much detail, lets just say that when crackers work on removing the drm, they have to reverse engineer the original executable to remove all references to it. while doing this, it is completely possible to mess up something else which could cause this problem. in this case, there is an unhandled exception while trying to access a certain protected memory addresses... it's possible that those types of memory addresses were not called when you played the game.

i don't actually think this is likely because the crackers are pretty brilliant at what they do, but it is certainly possible.

It's an Unhandled exception error. How can you be so sure that it's the because of the nature of his copy that is causing this error?

This happens even in a legit copy. Check out ATARI's forums & people have reported similar crashing issues with regard to memory addressing. The problem lies with the actual game as well. So it does not necessarily translate into his copy being the reason. The crashing issue is also addressed on the ATARI forum's as one of it's known issues.
 
Its an ATI driver issue, quite a few of my games crashing/locking-up.. like GOW, Wanted, riddick, etc

Tried 9.5, 9.6 and 9.4.. no fix :( Moving back to Vista :|
