This error occurs when running 18 WoS PttM on a hyper threaded pc that is running XPSP2.

We are testing a beta patch (BETA_patch_1_02.exe). This beta patch is NOT SUPPORTED. If you decide to try the patch, we ask that you send us a support request with Beta Patch as the problem/subject to let us know if the patch resolved the issue for you.

IMPORTANT PATCH NOTE: This is not the final patch, if you want the final patch when it is released, you will need to uninstall & reinstall 18 WoS PttM and your saved games may not work. If you do not wish to try this beta patch, please check back on our website, it will be posted soon.
