Saw on here that one way to fix it is to set the game's process affinity to a single core.

Usually I'll crash when exiting a multiplayer server, however when I switched the affinity to a single core it didn't crash.
Special thanks to Korell for helping me out with this stuff.
The following fix will add a shortcut to your desktop that loads a batch file which will run Blood 2 under only a single core.
THE FIX(Windows 7 Tested):
For those who have tried multiple other fixes, don't run any of the Blood 2 files in any compatibility mode but make sure they are all running as an administrator. Make a batch file with the following commands but using YOUR Blood 2 directory:
@echo off
cd "C:\YourBlood2Folders\"
START "Blood 2" /affinity 1 "C:\YourBlood2Folders\BLOOD2.EXE"
Place the file in your blood 2 directory or wherever you see fit (other than desktop). Right click the batch file and create shortcut. Place the shortcut on your desktop, right click it, and click properties. Click the "shortcut" tab and click advanced. Finally, Check "Run as administrator" and press ok.
Now Blood 2 shouldn't crash when you run it through that shortcut (I HOPE)!
THE FIX(old):
First of all don't run blood 2 in any compatibility mode but do run it as an administrator. Though Windows 98 compatibility mode automatically sets the affinity to a single core; for some reason the game will still crash.
Go to start menu and type in taskmgr. Run that as an administrator. Right click Blood 2's process in task manager. Set affinity. Uncheck all but one core.
