Hanger fix?

[XyZspineZyX]

Like others, my BGE exits to Windows when I leave the Hanger. Is there a fix yet?

My system is AMD Athlon 1.4, 512MB RAM, Radeon 9600XT, SB Live. I have installed and reinstalled latest ATI drivers, old ATI drivers, and Directx 9.0b. Nothing fixes this problem. All other new games run fine.

Thanks.

BTW, I have installed the 1.01 patch.

I had the same problem and I fixed it installing the patch.
I have an AMD and I think that the problem is something about the water because I can play without the patch only where you cannot use the hovercraft.

(repost for searches)
The 1.01 patch installed the game executables in my Windows system directory instead of my Beyond Good and Evil directory. The crash after the hangar was happening because I was running the old executables even though I had run the patch. I fixed the problem by uninstalling the entire app, deleting CheckApplication.exe, SettingsApplication.exe, and bge.exe from my c:\winnt directory. Then I reinstalled BG&E and re-ran the 1.01 patch.

To see if you have the same problem check the date of the file bge.exe in your install directory, usually "C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Beyond Good & Evil\bge.exe". The unpatched bge.exe is dated something like 11/08/03. The 1.01 bge.exe is dated 12/03/03.

Also, I ran into another problem when I ran the repair option during the uninstall. It ran ok, but the uninstall crashed when I tried to do the complete uninstall later. To fix that I ran regedit and deleted all BG&E related keys that contained "ubisoft" and/or "Beyond Good & Evil".

I hope this will help someone else who ran the 1.01 patch but is still seeing problems.

Thanks, Valtirith, I had run the patch, but your reply got me started down the right path. Things seem to be working now.
