You would have to fully uninstall the game, reboot, and then reinstall the game. There is no way to downgrade a patch.

post note: Not really top of the line video card, there are better out there LOL!!

I fixed my problem last night. I turned all the effects to High instead of highest. Also turned 4x down to 2x. I play the game in 8x speed or 6x speed. I think what was happening to me was the video card was over heating. Even though it is a top of the line Nvidia. (GeForce 8600M GT) I had no crashes after I did this. And I am now truly addicted to this wonderful game.

dont feel bad, the RAM is not the issue, I have 4 gigs on a XPS M1530 Maxed out system and I get the crash as well around 1 to 2 hours in the game. I hope they fix this problem soon. I love the game but cant seem to get past a certain point.

I must also add that playing the game for an hour or two it also crashes with the runtime error everyone else is getting. I am running a clean Vista system with 4 gigs of memory and nvidia 256mb card. (Dell XPS M1530 MAXED OUT). It is very frustrating. I hope they find a fix or add it in a new patch. Is there a way to see a log file after this crash happens. Thank you, Shannan P.S. I applied the microsoft patch at the beginning of this post but it said I didnt need it.
