Ok. Whenever I try to play a new game on Star Wars Republic Commando, it finishes loading and crashes. All it shows me is "SWRepublicCommando.exe has stopped working" Yes I have the wonderful thing called Vista and can't get out of it. I am also using a no-cd crack cause I lost the disks. I have:
AMD Phenom 9550 Quad-Core Processor 2.2 Ghz
6 GB RAM
ATI Radon HD 3450

Any more information just tell me. Please help

Quick, practical checklist to diagnose a game that finishes loading and then crashes (adds detail to thread and builds on 's suggestion).

Start by collecting the crash details

  • Open Event Viewer (Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Event Viewer -> Windows Logs -> Application) and find the Error that matches the crash time. Copy the Faulting Module, Exception Code and Offset lines. Those three items are the most useful for targeted help. Post them if you want community troubleshooting.

Try a clean, unmodified install

  • Reinstall the game into a new folder from a legitimate source so the executable is stock. Do not run altered binaries while debugging. After reinstall, run the game once without extra overlays or mods.

Compatibility and permissions

  • Right-click the game .exe -> Properties -> Compatibility. Try an older Windows compatibility mode and enable "Run as administrator". Also disable desktop composition / visual themes or "Fullscreen optimizations" for the executable. Test windowed mode or lower resolution if the option exists.

Runtimes and conflicts

  • Install the DirectX redistributable that older games need and the common Visual C++ runtimes. Do a clean boot (disable non-Microsoft startup items and services) to rule out background apps and temp disable antivirus/anti-cheat while testing. If DEP blocks it, add the game .exe as an exception in System -> Advanced -> Performance -> Data Execution Prevention.

If it still fails

  • Post the Event Viewer lines, the exact game version/patch level, and the faulting module. With those specifics the community can point to a known incompatibility or a precise workaround. Avoid sharing serials or personal keys.

Do you have the latest video drivers, windows updates, and game patches?

I'm not sure about the game patches, I have not been able to find them. But i have the latest video drivers and windows updates.

In that case I would have to say it's the no cd patch you installed. There's an update for the game but it looks like its just a map addition.
