I am using Vista 64 Home Premium,

Plenty of HD space
Core 2 Duo E8400

Running the game at 1920x1200

Start up the game fresh, attempt to play that mission. RIGHT after it crashes, don't start the game up again. Instead go to your My Documents\My Games\GC2TwilightArnor folder and open up the debug.err file and copy/paste it's contents into this thread.

Now you mainly have to sit for people that know exactly what all that means (mainly Kyro).

I have a few ideas though. When you installed TA, were you a Beta player? And if so, did you remember to uninstall the beta and clear out the remaining folders for twilight before installing the live version?

The other idea is that perhaps your DL/DA are in need of an update. I only think that due to those large number of DA folder calls.
