GX mode is already desactivated. I had several problems with other games due to the GX mode, so I've turned it to off.
This is not the first time that I have a problem with my sound card (Xonar D1), thanks Asus for that ...

EDIT : In case this could help, I use the drivers UNi Xonar 1.71 instead of the official one, because it fixed a lot of bugs that Asus didn't fix with the official driver. http://maxedtech.com/asus-xonar-unified-drivers/

If you're having issues with Xonar drivers, reinstall the UNi Xonar 1.71 drivers but use the C-Media Audio Panel instead of the ASUS one.

For my card (Xonar DX) I use the following settings:

Even if GX is disabled, it still tries to inject it's DLLs into processes on initialisation, so it's safer to basically never install it at all.

It automagically logs the crashes so we can see them and debug them. The way it works though, it will only get dumps for crashes that occur so often and it's all mushed up into statistical stuff. We don't see anything specific about your machine, just that a crash happened here x times with a few dumps per crash. Your dumps might not even get uploaded if we have enough from other players.

This anonymous and distant reporting is why I'm willing to help people individually with crashes they have in the bug reprort forum. I can't tell you that your crash will be fixed in patch x on date y, but I can tell you what went wrong. Maybe something external to the game can be changed that will help or fix it. Or maybe we can just enjoy the fact that the bug is known and fixed internally and will eventually make it out into the wild.

Thanks for the reply, I'm not worried about privacy or anything like that. I was just making sure I understood. I don't like making "I crashed" posts because I know how useless they are to the people who FIX them. I'm more trying to see if anyone else can spot a pattern or anything, ya never know.:)

Speaking of spotting trends, I'll just add myself to the "my game was fine until the Presidents masks + Hillbilly pack compatability update came out" crowd. I finished the game right through with 1 crash, caused by me and a friend both doing Nuke at the same time, back when that was a crash bug.

This is actually incorrect now. With a dump file I can tell you a good deal about what went wrong and fix it if it is our issue.

Are you saying that you have problems now or instead that things are good?

I took the update today and started a new game and it crashed in the same place that it used to. I understand the update was to add the crash logger though, not magically fix them all. But I tried my game again to see if I got lucky.
I was just saying that before that first DLC update it WAS fine, now it's crashing during story mission cutscenes and has been for a while.
My game still crashes like it has been doing since the first update that goof'd some stuff up.

Please post in the bug report forum with a .mdmp file if you have one.

I am using a Xonar DG card and have been using the default ASUS audio control panel until now, I have switched to C-media panel with EX toggled to off to see if that helps with the crashing, I still had to run the default ASUS audio control panel once though as it has certain options for gaming headsets that really boosts the audio (64ohms headsets), again made sure EX was toggled to off.

I have reinstalled/redownloaded the game and lo and behold the game seems to be running fine again, what a messed up process to state the least.

Edit: Looking over the steam forums for SRIV I am noticing people who have reinstalled the game and are still having this problem.

That's most likely a video driver issue.
Reinstall your ATI Drivers.

I'm not sure what it was, it only happened a couple of times, but now I can say it works fine :D no other problems yet.

Edit: Though it does take a bit longer to start up.
