    I noticed something that might be related to my problem in the Common Issues Thread #14 Video playback crashes.

    ..."Most likely to become apparent at the start of a game after the opening shopmap, when you're sent on your way and an opening vignette movie is supposed to play."

    I have checked my video card for Application Controlled anti-aliasing setting and also installed the no-cd crack.

    Any other ideas?

    UNBELIEVABLE!!! It seems that my whole problem was caused by window mode. I am now using Front-end CMF 5.0.5

    Thanks to all who tried to help.

    Glad you figured it out. I never use windowed mode so I wouldn't have thought to suggest that.

    I'm having this same issue.
    I installed ToEE, patch 1, patch 2, 5.0.0 a couple of weeks back. 5.0.0 was installed without Allyx's shopmap.

    I played it that way for awhile before I realized I was still using the standard module rather than the 5.0.0 module. I initialized the 5.0.0 module, started a one-character game to verify it was truely using the co8 module (it was), and rolled up some new characters.

    It then occurred to me to update to the latest co8 patch level before starting a new game, so I downloaded and unpacked 5.0.5.

    I then started a new game, and noted that I start in Jade's market area. I saved the game at that point, and started buying some things, including the 200 ammo packs. I saved the game again, and then continued onward, and it crashed after the neutral good cutscene ended and the game started. My saves after buying the ammo packs also crash right after the game finished loading. My save before buying the ammo packs do not crash. Windowed mode makes no difference. The no-cd patch probably is also a red herring as I'm using my original cds and not the no-cd patch.

    Not buying ammo packs doesn't crash it. Not combining the ammo packs doesn't crash it, as thearioch noted. Combining them after the sale still crashes it. Combining them in the next area ("a small village" NG vignette) seems safe. Hope this helps in debugging the problem in future patches.

    Thanks for that. I have already started investigating the ammo pack issue (since it also causes some crashes in KotB) but have not figured it out yet: but all additional info is welcome.
