[RESOLVED] Crash on start

Resolved -- read my reply further below!

I run in windowed mode and FF crashes at a point where I feel the menu is just about to load:

I don't normally attempt full screen, but it results in basically the same thing.

Specs:
XP mobile 2600+
1GB ram
nVidia 6800 Ultra (using fairly recent drivers, I don't recall version -- they're 160.*+)
WinXP Pro

Let me know if I need to provide anything else.

[Circuitous]

Delete the gamestartup*.mp3's in sounds\ui\ and try again.

I tried that, then tried deleting all of them. Neither worked :/

I'm bumping for anyone else with this same problem. Disabling steam community in-game allows the game to at least load up the menu. My reply in the memory dump thread: http://www.fortress-forever.com/foru...637#post266637

In steam go to File->Settings, In-game tab, uncheck the community box. It doesn't eliminate them, and it may not help, but it's something easy to try while we're looking into it. So far the majority of the dump files I've looked at are in studiorender.dll, so we're trying to get valve to look at it. 1 so far is in FF code(Othins first post) though, and still a bunch more to look at. We're working on it as fast as we can. We understand crash frustration.

Out of curiosity, how many of you that are getting crashes are running the game in a window, and/or alt-tab the game sometimes? I ask because I too have gotten the studiorender.dll crash moderately frequently when the game loses focus while loading, and at least a couple people I've looked at dump files for so far are running windowed and could have a similar problem.
