i would have posted this on the other thread but that one looked to old for me. sorry to anyone who is offended.
during combat at a specific spot in the game i have been playing. the game will go into view mode for combat. it will freeze and then crash. it has also been freezeing and not crashed. but i have reloaded three times from the last auto save and the from the previous save. the game keeps crashing at the same point. here is the report.
