My system hung with the whole screen turned dark orange in second mission slightly after being told to go right when the left got a bunch more turrets "blasters" spawned there and destroying some other other route (but before reaching the next intersection). I haven't experienced this kind of crashes in other games in ages, so I can't assume the cause is my computer.
As additional note, I was swapping back and forth the Steam overlay more than usual prior to the crash due to a friend demanding attention. Just feeling this could be related.
Attempt to start the game after this resulted in a crash pointing at d3d9 file or some such, after which it worked fine again. May have had something to do with me hitting Esc a bit enthusiastically to skip the videos :P
I have GeForce GTX 460 (2GB), which I believe is the only relevant bit of hardware.
Update #1: Tried a second time, and it crashed near the same spot. Disabled Steam overlay this time tho, so that's ruled out now at least. Crash occurred right after the guy finished saying "Some kind of a Blaster". The previous crash was between the next two intersections, but this happened before them. Both times I had to resort to pushing the reset button instead of alt-tabbing or ctrl-alt-del'ing out of it.
Update #2: Managed to play without crashing by lowering detail level from default (high) to low. Doesn't really give any clues on the crashing for me, but I guess the devs know what the detail level adjusts. I'm fine with the game working like this, tho. But fix is always appreciated :)
