Crash to desktop - Here be dragons, same place every time.
I have two problems but otherwise the game runs perfectly.
1. On the boneyard map one or more textures do not load. Instead I see the word "Error" as 3d models all over the map. A screen shot here:
2. The game crashes to desktop in the campaign during "Here be dragons". It happens at the same exact moment every time. The computer voice announces "a surge has been detected" and then the game closes.
I assume these problems are interconnected because otherwise the game runs like a champ.

The good news is that version 1.0.2.13 fixed both of these issues. The bad news is that support never gave me the time of day and that is just unacceptable.
