Hey!
It *should* be the latest patch version, just bought the game a week ago and patched right after installing. Any way to check on the version, a checksum or something? Eventually I would try a complete reinstallation, wouldn't be the problem.
I would like to avoid to play not in fullscreen. I don't like that, but I will give it a try.
By the way, I noticed the crash now appears the moment I take a look at Romania...very strange.
