    I uninstalled the game to get rid of the patch that Harkkonen made so that I could download the newest patch. anyway Now that I have re-installed the game wont start. it gets to the Check XML and quits.

    edit- just to clarify here. the game DID work before I uninstalled it.

    I opted not to uninstall my saved games. I only have one though. could that be causing the problem? I don't want to delete it if I dont have to.

    Well I am thinking the unpatched version had some game code that conflicted with a bunch of different sound drivers.

    Unpatched version I had to get VDMsound and that ended the ctd right after the lil box in center of screen stopped doing its thang.

    1.09 stopped that.

    Just a guess tho.
