When will you realise it is nothign to do with running the game, or CTDs (though these do affect many people)...it is what you have got *when* *it* *is* *running*.
It is not much a BoB game is it, really? And all thos emissing features - where did they go?
No amount of horse-power or low-level IO monitoring or Regedit or hex editing is going to change the fact that the core runtimes and graphics kernel (never mind associated caching, paging, DLL and general library calls) seem less than efficient, or coded to a particularly modern standard (even allowing for hardware abstraction layers etc). To say nothign of who coded them, and who is now coding/revising them.
*Then* add-in the fact you might well have a situation where new coders are being asked to unravel legacy code, while supplying new libraries and calls.
What you have there, my son, is quite possibly an unholy mess.
Stop fixating on your ability to run it and consider the wider question: is it well done to a decent standard? And is there a game there? Is there much BoB? And what do the patches and B6's prouncements taken together tell you?
Perhaps a fair few people are having the time of their life with this game. Good for them. But this isn;t about them. It's about the game as a whole, much of which is still missing, and all the indications are it will stay missing.
Once you acknowledge that simple reality, it actually makes you less tenacious and/or bitter and able to move on and look at things clearly.
Fogging up with obstinacy seems a waste of time to me. Each to their own.
