What version of Book I are you playing? I believe this was an issue with earlier versions of Book I.

If you don't have it already, update to v1.05. But be careful - some people are having some other issues with the latest edition of the v1.05 build...

The issue with the most recent build of v1.05 is that it seems to crash in certain specific locations (likely related to issues with sound files the game uses - I think one person reported avoiding crashes with the new v1.05 if they turned all sounds down to "0%".)

Probably the best solution would be to try to nab the previous build of v1.05 of Book I, but I wouldn't even know where you could obtain it...

Wasn't this crashing only in the Mac version? Or has it also been reported in the Windows version now?

I specifically double-checked, just to be sure, when writing that reply, and there are a couple of threads in the Book I Windows Support forum devoted to crashing with the (presumably) WIN version of the new build of v1.05. (However, it doesn't seem like any Linux users have reported problems yet... (maybe because they haven't downloaded the new v1.05 build yet?...).)

Anyway, it seems like the new build, even with the addition of BW's .zip of the missing sound files, is causing problems on both Mac and WIN...

(My guess is that there are still some sound files missing or something, because it seems like the crashes happen at specific points on specific maps, and turning all sounds to "0%" may avoid the crashing...)
