I hate them guys especialy kenny hate him the most

Good grief, it took me forever and a day (well actually just 2 days) to complete corporate holdings. Not because it was difficult mind you, three quadlaunchers firing salvo deadshot missiles saw to that. It took forever because the game kept crashing. I would get a little farther each time I attempted the mission. I would get to the mines – it would crash, I would get past the mines – it would crash, I would save the people – it would crash, I would get the people through the jump gate – it would crash. When Jarvis would franticly cry that we gotta beat it – I would somehow become “disembodied” and my view would constantly look to the left, and I couldn’t use the jump gate. Then I would finally get through the mission (with my body/ship intact) and it would crash as I went through the gate. For 2 straight days I’ve taken turns playing IW2 and cowering in the corner in the fetal position, rocking back and forth, sobbing softly to myself.
Whew I fell better, sorry for the rant, I just needed some release.

Also this may help some other poor crashie that’s having the same problem I am.
Im running XP and the F14.6 patch.
1) I usually play with the second “F1� view (the first person one with out the cockpit showing). Well if you’re in this view when Jarvis says that you have to leave it will disembody you, or at least it does for me.
2) When you finish the mission and exit through the gate don’t target the “backdoor� waypoint, or lucrecia’s base (I usually just grab the first waypoint I can find just to get him to go through the jump gate)
3) As for the initial crashes when you start the mission…I have no idea, persistence, and bad words got me through that portion.

Hope this is of use to someone, if not take heart in the fact that my horrible IW2 experience may have entertained you momentarily. 😉
