After over 5-6 months of leaving my old game on hold, I decided to go back to this particular installation of CoC, try to at least end the "main story" before moving maybe to Anomaly.

Anyway, I load the game, and found myself on the brain scorcher, dealing with a small swarm of zombies. I got into an anomaly, Lost To The Zone. Well, such is life in the zone, let's reload and try again.

And reload, my ass. Crash to desktop (Unhandled exception occured. See log for details). This is a game I've been playing during several months and that "survived" a HDD change in july. This said, I have some issues back in the day in this same map, so maybe there's something wrong in my installation. Any ideas?

This is the ending part of the log file:
