Hmmm...Maybe it hasnothing to do with it but...
Do we know if the people with these issues use virtual memory cards? Could that affect it? I've read someone say that even on 6.486 it was crashing for them, and that has no BBA.
Because I do not, I use real ones, and I am having problems getting Agent Under Fire to crash, and have neither had pso crash on me.
Maybe not using it made me unable to see it because it did not use the memory that is needed for it? I sincerely don't know...
I just mention it because I'v read of people having issues with VMC, usually trying bigger sizes.
