Issue description
I start the 9th Russian mission "Chapter Epsilon" It plays the cutscene with dialogues just fine. Cutscene end. Loading starts. Game crashes. No error reports or anything. Just crashed game and weird looking low res color scheme on the computer until restart.

I tried using mods and getting save files from the internet to try if its the original game or the mods, but in all cases it just crashed. (Default, Throwback Season VII, Kox Mod)

Works fine up until the point shown in pictures

Steps to reproduce this issue
Start the 9th Russian mission "Chapter Epsilon", let the cutscene end. Let the second loading begin. Profit (in this case it is a crash)

No error messages.

Could you upload the campaignsaves from a profile which can reproduce the error? (example \Original War\UserProfiles\normal\Default\CampaignSaves\)

and weird looking low res color scheme on the computer until restart
Sounds like your using Direct Draw Renderer (Which uses 16bit colour), i would recommend the OpenGL renderer.

Throwback mod saves

Your text to link here...

Kx mod saves

Your text to link here...

As for normal saves, I couldn´t finish my first mission because I was always "waiting" for the rest of the team in the highlighted zone. Even if everybody was in, it still wouldn´t let me finish. Killing all people didn´t let me finish. Burying didn´t help. I didn´t get past the first russian mission So.... No normal saves from my side... Sorry.

Also about the Direct Draw, it is the only way to not have the annoying "sound popping" when I speed up the game.

Sorry if I uploaded way too many saves, didn´t know if you need them all or not.

Thank you for replying and caring about somebody elses problems with a 15 year old game.
