I am having endless crashing problems running this game (nothing NEW there then, judging by the number of people reporting crash problems in this forum).

However I am convinced that my problem has nothing to do with graphics issues, but is more a User-Interface issue and a save-load issue.

Every time ME has crashed on me it has co-incided with accessing the other interface screens (such as inventory screen, character screen, main menu screen etc, or when clicking on crates and hacking terminals, and even pressing quicksave in some cases).

Can anyone tell me what type of problem this might be, and how to fix it? Possibly a problem with XML ?

I have also noticed that my crashing problems have INCREASED since I downloaded the 1.02 patch file..and I am thinking of trying to scroll back to 1.01 somehow.
my patch 1.02 file didnt even fix the problems it said it was supposed to anyway, so it seems completley useless.
(Probbly need to completley re-install ME and simply dont update to 1.02 perhaps?)

Also can anyone tell me why this game is structured so that there are so many loads and saves as you play. (for example just going form one end of the Citadel to the other there are about 15 loads and saves), which I am sure only adds to the instability of the game).

As always any help is greatly appreciated.

Appologies for bumping my own thread.

I opened up some log files, and found an alarming number of error type message logs.
here are just 4 examples in the log files

1)Could not find property named m_aspect in class BioGameEffectAttributeString. Object=BioGameEffectAttributeString_4

2)Bio2DA cpp CheckedGetIntEntry()Failed to read row(182,isNum=0),column(14)in Bio2DA(Talent_TalentEffectLevels)

3) Warning Warning, UBioItem: failed to find row labelled-1 in manufacturer 2DA

4) attribute(m_nMaxTargetZones)is of a type that we can't handle

Anyone? does this mean my installation is corrupted, and I need to re-install?
Thankyou for any feedback

I would be very greatful if a Mod would delete these duplicated entries..as my computer is completley locking up now.
