May 31, 201015 yr Game is completely unplayable in Windows 7 x64. I've successfully activated it, but I'm getting 2 errors Problem signature: Problem Event Name: APPCRASH Application Name: apgame.exe Application Version: 1.0.0.0 Application Timestamp: 4bd8888d Fault Module Name: KERNELBASE.dll Fault Module Version: 6.1.7600.16385 Fault Module Timestamp: 4a5bdbdf Exception Code: c06d007e Exception Offset: 0000b727 OS Version: 6.1.7600.2.0.0.768.3 Locale ID: 2057 Additional Information 1: 36bb Additional Information 2: 36bb79423ee81666a50b715f3bf39181 Additional Information 3: 3c99 Additional Information 4: 3c9966005961e7943f2977bdcc457791 Problem signature: Problem Event Name: APPCRASH Application Name: apgame.exe Application Version: 1.0.0.0 Application Timestamp: 4bd8888d Fault Module Name: apgame.exe Fault Module Version: 1.0.0.0 Fault Module Timestamp: 4bd8888d Exception Code: c0000005 Exception Offset: 009be986 OS Version: 6.1.7600.2.0.0.768.3 Locale ID: 2057 Additional Information 1: 0a9e Additional Information 2: 0a9e372d3b4ad19135b953a78882e789 Additional Information 3: 0a9e Additional Information 4: 0a9e372d3b4ad19135b953a78882e789 I've tried running as administrator, disabling my AV and XP SP3 compatibility mode. I've also installed all of the latest C++ redistributables (2005 sp1, 2008 sp1 and 2010).
May 31, 201015 yr maybe new drivers for your videocard? I did a fresh install of windows 7 64 bit and all drivers and it works great on my pc Who are you "Michael, Mike, Michael, Mike, Michael darling, mr. Thorton, Michael, Mike, Michael, Mike, Michael darling, agent Thorton, Thorton, Thorton, Thorton, Michael Thorton, etc....." "Oh the candy dish! That's right - that's where I left my keys" Heck YEAH!!
May 31, 201015 yr Author The culprit is definitely physx. The driver bundled with FW 257.15 doesn't work (9.10.0222). I've not tried the current standalone version (9.10.0129 - released 25 March 2010). The version on the CD is pretty old - 9.09.0814 (August 2009!), so you may have problems with newer games if you install it (keep it in the back of your mind if other games are suddenly unplayable). To uninstall physx: Control Panel>uninstall a program>Nvidia Physx Install Physx from the CD (cd drive>support>physx) Only uninstall Physx - don't uninstall Nvidia drivers (they're your graphics card drivers).
May 31, 201015 yr I use Win 7 x64, it runs fine. I did not reinstall PhysX or the graphics driver after installing the game. I of course have the other problems as described in other threads like the stutternad mouse issues. But I managed to play the game through last weekend, no crashes at all. Also I did not apply any compability tweaks except starting as admin once for a test of config files. -Dani
May 31, 201015 yr That is why I play it with my xbox 360 controller, no mouse problems anymore!! Who are you "Michael, Mike, Michael, Mike, Michael darling, mr.

May 31, 201015 yr Author If you've got an Nvidia card, Physx is automatically installed with your graphics driver. The version of Physx bundled with the 257.15 drivers is not compatible with Alpha Protocol. If you're using an older driver, it should be fine. BTW, please ignore my instructions for removing Physx - you'll have to install an older graphics driver, or the Nvidia control panel won't work properly.
