Firstly, I've been through every post in this thread and tried every method of salvaging this game, but guess what everyone? No dice! Wooohoooo I'm another unsatisfied customer.
I've patched (110 and 120), reinstalled, changed resolutions and I have gotten nowhere, I'd dare to say I've gone backwards with the game now crashing at these points:
Cursor Settings - During a game in any mode instantly crashes.
BAL - Same as everyone, for me week 9.
Any Game Mode - Just messing about in the controls menu.
I've also found a new issue, I'm playing the PC Retail version, patched, using the keyboard of my laptop (specs below) and since the patches etc the game stops using my choice of controls, I edit them in the settings and they do not reset between loads/exits, but no matter what game mode I play they do not work; it makes for an interesting game when my only 2 options are short pass and long pass. 0-0s throughout a season is enough for the title right? No? Oh well. I flat out refuse to go and buy the xbox controller for windows just to play the game, then have it crash.
Dual Core 2.5
GeForce 8800 me GTX
Windows Vista 32bit
2GB RAM
So yeah any help with the keyboard issue would be wonderful to say the least. Also any new ideas on fixes/patches/ways to burn Konami developers faces off?
