I played the game the whole way through the first time and had no bugs.

The second time I had no issues until I had gotten to the Pripyat section. I actually went mostly through it and left to get more med kits/bandages.

When I returned the game began to crash. I tried going back a bit and starting the game a bit before Pripyat but seemed to have issues when I finally got to Pripyat.

The error says:

Xrayengine_error_report_
080913-031328.zip

Any ideas? I downloaded the latest three official patches and other then some second delays when the graphics were on the high end, well, as I said, no problems the first time playing it through.

Here are the stats for my computer and it's Vista, business edition:
