That's not possible, though, because the maximum size of text files that are allowed to be uploaded here is 19.5 KB. The OP failed to use RAR or ZIP to archive his text files, of course, which is why I wouldn't download them no matter if they're uploaded here or at uploading.com... I'm on a monthly volume quota.

Usage of these file hosting services is very common around here to circumvent the file size restrictions imposed on the forums. IIRC, it's even the official recommendation from Shrapnel to use third party file and image hosters if the file size limitations imposed on the forums are not enough. There is no harm done in opening a text file with log messages. Downloading and running of a custom Dom3 tool is a risk, of course, this could always be a trojan or other malware.
I did not realize that there was such a low cap on text file sizes, and I know that use of third party file hosting services is common and even encouraged in many cases. I am also aware that text files are not full of viruses. My problem is with this particular file service and it's livid attempts to open pop up windows and attempts to exploit browser flaws in order to install spyware via improper use of system memory. My system was not compromised, but not everybody takes precautions.

Pop up advertising windows are not always malicious and this particular site might open 50 different adverts that are harmless, but at least one was trying something fishy, crashed my FF browser and generated a warning in Vista. It might have been simply an error or incompatibility, but I spend too much time cleaning other people's computers to not be annoyed by this.

I have analysed the files but can't find anything significant. If you want further help I need to ask you if you have tried the method suggested at page 321 in your manual?

If the problem is specific to a particular game, could you upload the trn and 2h files?

Also, when you say you downgraded to previous patches, how did you do that? Did you reinstall the game from scratch? If not, try doing that in case it's got corrupted somehow.
