It does seem to help. I was able to play several missions (over lunch) without it crashing. Admittedly, I reduced a couple of settings so that might have helped too. I wish I hadn't deleted my save games. :| Yeah that’s the patch I nabbed last night. It does seem to help. I was able to play several missions (over lunch) without it crashing.

Improved memory heap management to reduce 'out-of-memory' crashes that were plaguing certain systems, including 32-Bit Vista on High and Ultra settings. Often reported as 'error 183 failed to create to create dump' This might help when you get home.

I just don't have the patience for it anymore. The whole point is to blow shit up, and I never particularly considered zerging and turtling to be strategic anyway. Just get me in the battle already so I can blow.shit.up! Was disappointed with the Halo Wars demo because it's more of a straight-up RTS with base-building (simplified but it's still there) and after the close-up combat of WiC and EndWar (guess I should include WiC's predecessors GC1 & 2 also) it was really hard going back to only having tiny little units and that overhead view. Not sure if I'll get the game or not, although Ensemble did a fantastic job on the cinematics.
