Hello I just got back into the game with my friend and bought the game from gog.com, downloaded the cep files and put them in their respective folders then got him to run arf2 and let everything update and it all worked flawlessly but now I got him having the problem of crashing pretty often. he loves the game and was having a blast last night but it was killing it for him he even crashed on start up once (I think). just wondering if there is anything I may have done wrong or if you have to do it all manually instead of arf2. any help would be appreciated.

I have pretty frequent crashing fits where for a couple minutes the game just wants to crash. What hardware does your friend run the game on? I have been meaning to try and just manually install all the CEP & HGX files to see if this fixes it for me but haven't gotten around to it.

It is a very old game and so can perform rather randomly on different systems.
I had crashing (and more importantly, permanent hang) issues but by setting compatibility mode to xp sp3 I was able to alleviate a lot of those.
Another thing to check is the cpu affinity setting, recommend setting nwplayer.ini to "Client CPU Affinity=-2" for better multicore support

Also, as inane as it is, turn off shiny water.

I run the same CPU and what I can say is when it happens on my system it typically stops crashing after 2-5 crashes that will mostly be back to back. I need to double check some of my settings to see if they are set as some suggest above.

I had the same problems.
but like boroie said running the game in a lower windows compatibility mode solved it.
