Lego Rock Raiders – Crash Issues

I’ve had some really bad crashing issues with this game, which unfortunately makes this highly enjoyable game rather less stimulating. I’ll outline the few main bugs I get, perhaps someone heard of a fix or a way to fix them yourself.
1 – Sonic Blaster Crash – For those of you who played this, its that little cube they place to scare away the snails, after the countdown it starts shooting fireworks and the game crashes – happens 100% of the time
2 – Snail bug, in certain levels the snails spawn every second, but the next second it goes back in to the hole, aside from having annoying sound effects that loop, but it also means that the challange goes down a tad when the enemies are bugged.
3 – Power Drain – In certain level using the rock raider guns, and the mining lasers, drains all the energy crystals at once, (the guns normally dont use any power, while the mining lasers do so at a slow pace).
4 – General Random Crashes – whether its a wall coming down, or a level is finishing sometimes the game freezes up and crashes.
Help with any of these issues would be greatly appreciated.
Answer #1
1: Sonic Blaster crashes because vista does not like old games try windows xp or windows 7 also if you changed the install directory or changed the name of the Rock Raiders game map the game wil crash.
2: When the levels where build the snail’s where not finished yet so the level designers could only use the snails in later levels you can’t resolve this.
3: Sorry never heard of this on.
4: As i sad vista does not like old games or one of your filles is broken.
Try reinstalling the game and don’t forget to backup your game filles in C:\Program Files\LEGO Media\Games\Rock Raiders\Data\Saves
Hope this helped you
