Has anyone encountered such crashing that the game complains that all of your saved games are corrupt and restarting the game becomes impossible unless you reboot the whole computer?
I'm getting this fairly often now, mostly when I try to quickload after I die, or just overall after I get killed in the game the game just hangs and load game doesn't work.
When trying to relaunch arcanum.exe, it just goes full screen (a black screen) for roughly five or so seconds) then shuts itself. This is weird since normally when you launch the game it starts playing the Sierra video immediately, so the few second wait with the black screen seems out of place.
This inability to launch the game might appear also when alt+tabbing a lot: the graphics get mumbled with sprites missing and black artifacting appearing on the screen.
Reinstalling the game when this happens doesn't change anything, and since restarting the computer fixes this I assume the problem might be about some sound or video thing hanging up and not shutting itself down properly, although ProcessExplorer doesn't show anything new/weird running so I'm out of ideas.
If anyone knows how to prevent this problem, or just preventing the need to restart every time this happens, please let me know!
Thanks.
