Wow. I managed to make it all the way to the CNPP, but ever since I found a way into the Sarcophagus I've been experiencing one crash right after another. Major pain! The error messages always start out with "Engine Error. Last line in stack trace: PAPI:: pDomain::transform_dir()=2656 bytes C:" etc.
I hope there's help on the horizon in the form of the new patch, because it's gotten to the point where I don't even want to start the game up again after it's crashed for the 10th time - and I am NOT exaggerating. I've managed to get the generator codes after inserting the extra battery (VERY small area provided for the battery and kind of hard to locate, btw), but that's only in between crashes. I have met up with Ghost on my way to the generators, but can only get so far following him towards lab X2 and the game repeatedly crashes. Don't mean to bitch so much, but I'd really like to finish LA with my sanity intact. ;)

Hey Dia,
I do have some good news regarding these errors... as far as I understand they have been patched. But these crashes are to be expected as very little work has actually been done on CNPP and Generators. It's the last parts of the game, and the part that only a few people have managed to test on an end user level.

I'm hoping the 2nd patch will be released soon, as I can't play for more than 10-20 seconds during the ''search for secret tunnel entrance" (in order to take out (from behind) the soldiers guarding the X2 entrance). I really am not exaggerating; I'll go a few yards in the direction of the secret entrance and then the whole thing does a CTD. After each CTD I see the error message that always begins with 'Engine Error. Last line in stack trace:'. I knew when I started playing LA that (thanks to the despicable tester who jumped the gun and spoiled things for everyone else) LA was pretty buggy and glitchy, but was just glad to be able to play at the time. And I really am appreciative of the dedication, efforts and hard work of everyone who helped make LA a reality. But this last mission (starting from the time I entered the Sarcophagus) was just TOO glitchy and now I'm just too frustrated to try to finish the game at this point; it's time to stop when it's not fun anymore. :(
Thanks for your response though, Axon.

I for one am looking forward for the time, some months down the line, to play again - from zero. Besides less bugs - this game seems to benefit greatly from foreknowledge i gained on the first (almost-) play-through.

Seconded, zombe.

Thirded. I liked what I saw, but it was just a little too rough around the edges for me to really get into it. I'll be keeping an eye on it and I look forward to giving it another go.

Yeah don't blame you guys at all! I'll let you know as soon as I have news about the patch.

I think I'm going to give this game a try. I've read all the comments filled with bugs and crashes and waited patiently until this 2nd patch arrived. Here we go!!
