When exiting mission (Fly now or Campaign) I get the Windows Box with the message:
"Red Baron II Singleplayer has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." The options are to send or not send a problem report to MS. When I close this box I am dropped to the desktop. This happens every single time.
Some background - It was originally freezing the screen and hard locking the system (had to reboot) when exiting a mission. When I dropped my desktop to 16bit resolution, the hard locking stopped and the crashing listed above started. I have played with the desktop resolutions and bit depths to no avail - 16bit always crashes and 32bit always hard locks regardless of the desktop resolution. I have tried enabling and disabling the IgnorePaletteChange option in the OpenGLid.ini file. I have tried turning Sun Glare option on and off in the realism settings. I tried turning Video Acceleration and Sound Acceleration down a notch. Nothing seems to change.
I would love to get back into RB but flying in DD mode is an ugly option even with PL and HA patches.
