Severe Windows Crash Error

[Remat3]

Remat3:
Weird that the hpl_log is blank, it should work to turn it on (has worked for
other users)

The hpl_log should just constantly write what is happening and thus one can see where it crashes (when it stops writing).

Could you give it another go and see if you can get it printing?

I would also suggest choosing another sound card in the launcher or running oal soft (as it might be a sound related issue)

AHA! This time it worked--no idea what I did differently that made it transfer to the log, but at least I have an updated log file now.

Also, in case it helps, I went ahead and shot a video of what happens when I try to run the game when it crashes; Usually I can at least make it down the stairs and back up again, but this time it crashed faster than usual. Here's the url (also, I lied--it's about 68 degrees out): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbi5c1hwkvw
