My game continuously crashes during the Cathedral level. This happens during the loading transition that occurs when you use the air flow to float to the next part of the level. Is there a fix to this, or is this due to a corrupt save.

I should clarify that I did make it through this transition the first time I made it, but I quit a few minutes afterwards, before I could reach another checkpoint. This now occurs whenever I try to continue my progress.

Unfortunately, it is probably a corrupt save.

There is an issue where if you save somewhere in the game world (such as the Cathedral), then quit and reload, the next time you go to the area close to where you saved, the game will crash. The same thing happened to me, and I had to restart the game.

As far as I know, the only way to prevent this is to save only in the Elder's Lair (where you start the game.)

So say you're in the Cathedral and you want to save and quit. You must first morph into the Spectral Plane, then let an enemy kill you (such as a Slaugh.) When you are resurrected at the Elder's Lair, you may now save and quit. Never save anywhere in the world, only save at the Elder's Lair.

Annoying to have to do every time you want to save, but it seems to be the only way to avoid corruption.

Hope that helps! :)

I had save corruption before, however there are ways to get rid of it. First of all, turn off any compatibility modes. Yes, I'm 100% serious. Second, try to get rid of most of system tray-dwelling applications. Third, turn off Skype. Seriously, when I had that on, the corruption was guaranteed.
