Constant crashing under XP
Some Windows XP systems (such as mine) will experience constant crashing. As in every couple of minutes, or every time you save. I can still manage to play by saving (it usually crashes after you save, luckily), quitting if it didn't crash, and restarting, but that gets old after a few hundred repetitions. Funcom doesn't seem interested in releasing a fix for the problem or acknowledging that it exists.
It also sometimes stops responding to the mouse if you switch to another application (such as an instant message popping up), and the textures always get hosed if you switch, so that also is effectively a crash.
Also, saved games in the first slot cannot be restored, so you may find yourself confused at the very beginning.
It's a bit long-winded... sort of the longest-winded journey, and you may want to use subtitles so you can read parts and then right click in the dialog or hit escape to skip to the next audio segment. Similarly, you'll want to use escape frequently to run instead of walking, or double click to move to run.
