really was there any point in those last 2 posts guys??
anyway i done this when i got crash dumps and it worked for me.....
when you get a crash dump, remember the date that the dump happened. then just delete the crash dumps folder in: my documents/SI/FM08 then reload your save game in FM once you have re-started FM, then just save FM before the date of the crash dump and hopefully the problem should be fixed.
it may not work for everyone but it worked for me a few times! |
