Penumbra crashes to the desktop (with an error dialog) every now and then when I walk through a door. I checked the 'hpl.log' file (see link below my specs) after a recent crash and there were a bunch of errors.  By the way, I'm using version 1.1 of Penumbra.

My specs:
Windows XP /w SP 2
1.7 ghz cpu (Athlon XP 2100+)
Radeon 9800 pro /w Catalyst 6.5 Drivers
Soundblaster Audigy
1 Gig of memory

For log I posted, it was the door that goes from the hall where you experience that "hallucination" (just before the workshop) to the room with the first flying thing. It also happened twice exiting the office (didn't get logs for those crashes).

I don't know. Is there some way I can check the resources?
No it is not missing resources but rather messed up saved rooms (when ever there is a loading screen the previous room is saved). Or perhaps the map cache.

Does it happen everytime you try to go through the door, or only once (if to continue after the crash)?

It doesn't always happen at the same door. This is actually the first time it crashed at the door I mentioned in my second post. Initially, the crashing happened every time I went through the door exiting the office (after escaping the broken key room).

This time, however, I avoided the trigger that causes the monster to appear outside the broken key room. No crash at the office exit this time. I figured triggering the monster might have something to do with the crash, so I went back and triggered it. The game then crashed not at the office exit but at the door I mentioned in my second post.

I hope that makes sense... XD
Thanks alot for the feedback!

Will dig into this later.
happend to me to :)

Crash to desktop also happened to me as I tried exiting the office door.

Yeah, the office crash is a known and oh so annoying bug. Very hard to reproduce and test since it only happen after quite a bit of gameplay time.
