Having read through several threads relating to problems similar to those I have none seem exactly the same. I have an oldish Windows XP PC, it's got on-board graphics and no separate graphics card. It runs BA ok, the game plays well but when 'Quit' is clicked there is a 'BA: BA.exe Fatal Application Exit... Please report!'. From what I understand it could be something to do with the video ram ie 128MB or 256MB (not enough?) rather than 512MB. The game works fine until exit so I'm not sure why there's a problem.
The other problem I have, not sure if it's related to the above is that only the 'Campaigns' and 'Quit' options are available after completing the Tutorial. I read about deleting the BBCBA or SAVES folders can fix the problem but I've tried everything I can think of and it's still the same. It's a pain having to redo the Tutorial every time just to get access to the 'Multiplayer' and 'Load' options.
Help please!! .. do I have to wait until the next update to fix things?
Hmmm - it sounds like it's crashing before it can save out the progress info to tell the game you have completed stuff.
Does it still crash when you are running in a window?
Can you please post the contents of the error log (ideally just start the game, then exit, then send the log) which can be found in the BBCBA folder in My Documents\My Games. Hopefully it is something we can fix easily for you.
Is there an OPTIONS.TXT file in the BBCBA folder, or has it never been created?
The graphics chip is a SiS M741 (integrated chipset), I don't think it has the latest drivers. The PC is running Windows XP SP2, Pentium 4, 2.93GHz with 480 MB RAM.
There is an OPTIONS.TXT file in the BBCBA folder. The game crashes the same on exit when I am running in a window, although the game actually is still running fullscreen even with the 'Fullscreen' option unchecked.
The error.log file contains:
CPU String: GenuineIntel
Stepping ID = 1
Model = 4
Family = 15
CLFLUSH cache line size = 64
CPU Brand String: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.93GHz
