CTD entering first bunker

Sir Dingly Dang

First time out of the vault
Edit: It seems to work now. I reinstalled, applied the patch and left the .bos files as they were and then put back all the save files and whatever I'd changed. I also left out the no-cd patch and the HighRes patch initially but installed the resolution patch and it works. The culprit must've been the no-cd patch or the unpacked files but right now I'm not gonna test the no-cd patch, I just wanna play the damn game. :D Been dying to play it for weeks.

Now my only concern is will the bonus mission work? I'd activated it before starting out with my current characters and I reactivated it after reinstalling before loading one of my saves. I really want to play it though, I've had bad luck with it before and haven't managed to play it more than once a long time ago.


I keep crashing just after entering the bunker after finishing Brahmin Wood. I can move around for 10 seconds or so and then I hear a weird bzzt noise and the game CTD's with this message:

BOS.exe has stopped working.

The game's patched to 1.27, .bos files unpacked with booster and patch reapplied after. I also use the HiResolution patch, a no-cd patch and I've replaced the ReaverMale.SPR with the fixed one.

I've got a custom made squad so first I thought I did something wrong with them and it turned out I had actually forgotten to add names and bios to the characters.txt file but replaying the first mission with the characters fixed didn't help.

Then I suspected that unpacking the .bos files had corrupted something but reunpacking and reapplying the patch didn't help either.

I'm at a total loss as to what's causing the crash. If no-one can figure out what's wrong I'm gonna try a full reinstall next and try the savegames again.


I'm on 32bit Vista (with UAC turned off) and my specs are:
GF 8800 GT 512mb
2 gb RAM
Intel core q6600


Edit: I didn't install DirectX 8.0a, does that matter?
 
The bonus mission will become available if you've enabled it before doing Quincy. Use Red's no-*cough* patch it works fine with the high res patch.
