The game has started crashing for me at what I'm guessing is the very tail end of Act 1. After I accuse Vallarian, I can't do much of anything. If I try to go to Dragon Rock the game crashes and if I tried to have Sam Rieman burned at the stake the game crashes a little after the fire starts.

I've seen people having problems with the game crashing at the beginning, but not after it's been running fine this long. Any suggestions?

Never mind. Figured it out. The Sam Rieman issue, at least. Surprise surprise it was a codec problem, just like it was for most people. Probably should've tried the common solution first.

Now, when I go to Dragon Rock the HUD is visible, the rest of the screen is black. I can get the game menu to pop up, but not inventory. Then it eventually crashes.
