Hi,
I've got the same problem. No matter what config I try before running thru the character creation process the game keeps crashing. I guess I meet the recommended specs for this game since I have a Core Duo T2330 (1.6GHz), 1024 MB RAM, and Intel GMA X3100 (up to 384 MB of shared memory) on my laptop.
I've tried everything from patching the game to adjusting the graphics, sound and even hardware mouse on/off and it still didn't solve my problem. Updating drivers doesn't make the trick either. Anyone who might have an idea what's going on? I'm desperate. I really am
Thanks
