When I had issues like this is was actually an issue of the hard drive having issues retrieving data from a bad cluster, I delta with it tell the drive had enough bad sectors to the point one was eventually located in the os's location, then I couldn't deal with it anymore once windows started locking up lol.
Beings only certain clusters were going bad on the harddrive only some programs would show the effect, and thus I'd be able to rename the folder and install a new copy and have it all work again (I did the rename to make sure nothing else I installed would install into the same bad sector, thus causing the problem all over).


So far for me it only happened in Renegade, not outside of it or in any other game.

What do you suggest? Installing a new copy of Renegade on another drive?
