I am experiencing a repeatable bug since I installed DA tonight. When I bring up the lists of Planets/Ships and click on the ships option, if I click on certain Freighters from the list, the game screen will go black, the sound will begin repeating and then the game will crash. Oddly, if i click on my Flagship, it will work fine, its only when i click on my Frighters that this crash occurs. If wanted, i can also supply a savegame.
Here is the debug info reporting by Windows when the game crashes:
AppName: gc2darkavatar.exe AppVer: 1.5.0.0 ModName: gc2darkavatar.exe
ModVer: 1.5.0.0 Offset: 001e9e92
And here is my debug.err entry:
