I am experiencing intermittent crashes with X3: Reunion while running it on Windows 11. The crashes are sometimes reproducible, while other times they occur randomly and cannot be replicated. This is particularly frustrating and somewhat embarrassing because I stream the game on Twitch and I'd rather it didn't contribute towards what my channel is getting quite well known for... Technical difficulties!
First lets get the necessary information out of the way as stipulated by this topic.
- Operating System: Windows 11 (Version: 10.0.22621 Build 22621)
- CPU: Intel Core i7-8700K CPU
- Graphics Card: Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080Ti (Driver Version: 528.02)
- Memory: DDR4-2666 / PC4-21300 DDR4 SDRAM UDIMM 64GB DDR4
- Game Version: 2.5a (Steam Version)
The issue I'm experiencing occurs in the standard start of the game's storyline with Julian Brennan, and there's no specific sector causing the problem. There are no error messages, but occasionally, when I select a target, the game freezes for a brief period before crashing to the desktop. The game has not been modified and has been verified through Steam Cache. However, I have noticed a pattern that the issue tends to happen more frequently in sectors with dense fog. I figured I'd ask here, in case this is a well known error, and that someone might already know the solution or perhaps know what might be going on here.
Every time I get the crash my Event Viewer pretty much says the exact same thing, here's the last one that happened:

If any more information is absolutely required please let me know, and I'll see what I can do or answer. I should also point out that I'm grateful in advance for any insight on this because I know the game is nearly 18 years old at this point and probably way past it's support date.Bucket -721290278
