I recently bought The Ball on Steam and it crashes consistently after a few minutes of play, sometimes giving me a BSOD. I haven't played the main campaign much. At the moment, I mostly just want to finish the Portal DLC and get that potato. The furthest I've reached before crashing is the third test and I've made many attempts.
I'm playing on the lowest settings, in windowed mode, and I even changed the resolution to 800x600 by editing the UDKEngine file. My video driver is up to date and I'm playing with my anti-virus programs turned off. Killing Floor (and all other games in the Potato Sack) run fine.
When I get a BSOD, the Launch.log simply cuts out in the middle of the line, like so:
[0063.47] Log: TEXTUREGROUP_MobileFlattened: (Mi
But always while loading a different texturegroup.
When the game crashes without a BSOD, I get the following error in the log.

My video driver is up to date. The first time I tried repairing the game's cache in Steam it found a missing file and replaced it (~1MB). I have still experienced the exact same error after repairing the cache, but Steam scans come up clean. Any ideas?
