Ah, that's an old one. I used to run into that alot may and june last year. The ' -gc 2' solved alot of that, and eventually it disappeared for me.

This error 8 is new for me. I haven't played for a couple of months, and am only now trying to explore act 3. Needless to say it isn't going well. Without ' -gc2' I couldn't even teleport to act 3. With that I can't enter the crematorium from the slums.

My system is older. I run:
Asus P5K motherboard, Intel P35 chipset, DDR2
Nvidia 8800GTX 768MB, GPU 575MHz, MEM 1,8 GHz
Intel core2 quad Q6600 2,4 GHz 8M Box 1066 MHz FSB
3Gb RAM DDR2/800 Dimm
Creative XFI extreme audio
Coolermaster 700W power supply
Windows Vista 32 bit

At the time (jan 2008) this system was really good. It could run Crysis, so it should be able to run this without crashing.

I'll play around with the settings, and the soundblaster too. Maybe that thing causes trouble (pretty rare, but I'v seen it before).

edit: going easy on the graphic settings seems to help.

edit 2 (05-06-'13): Well I'v been trying every tweak I could think of. Things have improved, but after 8 times or so switching zones, the game collapses on me. It's a bit pathetic to be honest :(
