You could have just used THIS thread.

It may not stop your crash dumps but its a good place to start. If your already in contact with Neil I would suggest PM'ing him. All your going to get here is the same advice you have probably already had and keep going round in circles. You need to contact tech support.

i pay £34.99 for a game i cant even play due to the crash dumps my computer is perfect for the game but still the crash dumps if you was in my boat you would want answers agreed

agreed so contact the people who can actually help you, none of us can.

you should as a rule have everything updated before trying to run the game.

Of course I'd want answers. Thats why I'd be contacting tech support talking to people who can actually do something about it. The only info your going to get here is what you already know and what you have probably already tried.

Get back in contact with Neil. He already knows what steps you have already taken and will be able to help you further. If not contact tech support.

Not once have you posted your

1. System Specs
   
2. What You've already tried
   
3. What Neil said to do
   
4. What you updated
   
5. What is the June 2010 version and where's the link to it so we can check it out
   

If you're going to complain about the game not working then at least be elegant about it and give as much info as you can.

All this is just a rant.
