Aquanox crashes to the desktop

This is a discussion about Aquanox crashes to the desktop in the Windows Games category; I just picked up Aquanox, and while it's faster than the demo it still has the demo's problem of crashing to the desktop when loading levels. Has anyone else seen this? Here's what I have: WinXP Pro P3 933@1085, 1.

I just picked up Aquanox, and while it's faster than the demo it still has the demo's problem of crashing to the desktop when loading levels. Has anyone else seen this? Here's what I have:
 
WinXP Pro
P3 933@1085, 1.75v (155x7, runs at 29*C at idle, and 41*C while gaming)
Vantec CCK-7035D HSF
ASUS CUSL2 i815
512MB Crucial CAS2 PC133 RAM
WD 40GB ATA-100 HD
Samsung 5x DVD/32x CD Drive
Hercules Geforce 2 Pro, 64MB (Detonator 21.81)
Creative Audigy Platinum with Audigy Drive
Intel Pro/100 Mgmt Adapter
Radius 19" Monitor (Trinitron AG CRT)
MS Natural Keyboard Pro
MS Intellimouse Explorer
 
 
The game runs really well, and I have been using only 800x600x32 right now. I have tried running it in compatibility mode for Win98/ME but the problem remains. I do have to say that this is a sweet game, except for the crashing and stuff...

Scratch that, it turns out they have the bug under control and it turns out to be an issue with the OS rather than the game itself. Either way, the game still kicks a$$!

You can get the demo from www.aquanox.de. Currently, there is a bug in the way certain WinXP/2K installs deal with a large number of files being open and the way Aquanox handles files during mission loads. If you PC has this problem, it will show itself in the demo as well as the full version. Just wanted to make sure you knew.
 
As for where I got the full version at, I went to Best Buy and Circuit City but neither of them had it, so I went to EB and there it was. If you liked Descent/Forsaken and really like simpler arcade style action, then you will probably dig this.
