Riddick- no go

I get a C++ runtime error message about ***x86.exe . Anybody know a fix?

After installing the game off 6 disks, I think it's very frustrating.
It seems the last 3-5 games I've bought this year have been buggy as hell.

What OS? CoR ran fine for me once I turned off EAX HD on XP.

Well, is it 3 games, or is it 5? Could it possibly be 4? Or, did you
hit a key by mistake and it's really 35?

Hard to respond with this level of uncertainty.

Hate to say this but maybe it's not the games but your PC that is the
problem. I ran Riddick without one problem. Great game and no bugs at all on
my rig. Maybe you're having a DX problem or a driver conflict. Maybe it's
time for a clean OS install. JLC

I got it to work. If you are using an NVidia card, you must disable
stereo 3D- you can't simply keep it at "enable by hotkey".

Stereo 3D? What is that?

BTW, I would think that if this affected all Nvidia cards it would default
to off?

3D depth perception using two eyes.

I use red-cyan glasses (the best choice for LCD's), but you can also use
shutter glasses. I was not trying to use it with Riddick (too much of a
framerate hit, no doubt), but I have it set to "enable by hotkey". It
doesn't cause a problem with many games, but occasionally there is an
incompatability where I must turn it to "disable".

It is off for the 99.99% of the gaming population that don't own the
glasses.
