I'm using the retail version with Wages of Sin installed, but I also have the Steam version. Steam version doesn't have Wages of Sin and it's also slightly censored, so I prefer the retail version. In order to get the game to run with 3D acceleration enabled, I need to use nHancer and turn on the driver extension limit.

The game runs just fine with 3D acceleration. But just now, I got to the Sintek Oilrig stage, and two cut-scenes play, and then after the second cut-scene ends, another loading screen happens, and just before before it finishes, the game crashes to the desktop with this:

"Consecutive calls to LM_AllocBlock(-48,76) failed"

If hardware acceleration is disabled, then instead of crashing to the desktop, the console comes down and displays this text:
SinTek Oilrig
********************
ERROR: Bad surface extents
********************

Either way, I don't get to keep playing the game now.

Also, I can trigger the crash by bringing down the console and entering:
map oilrig

I'm going to try the Steam version, and see if the behavior is any different, but I'm not counting on it.
