I've actually managed to get a crash happen even with a proper legit version from here. If you start a new game and have the tutorial mode on, and enable options before doing the tutorial, the game will crash after the cutscene where Dante smashes down through the roof of the temple.

I'm putting this down to the fact that during the tutorial there is no lifebar, etc, and it runs differently to the rest of the game. If you don't play the tutorial (and most won't), then you won't run into this at all. The trainer works marvellously.

dunno i play in this series first time and turned tutorial on, and enabled all options in trainer, no problems in entire game.
Vista SP1, game 1680x1050 all high antialiasing 6x.
sorry for bad english...

Ok, i clarify... It's not the trainer, sorry for the confusion.

Apparantly the game does have a few bugs (pfft... no surprise). If you have everything on Super High, then it will crash during the intro, as well as during some other random cutscenes in the game. It's something to do with the shadows, lowering them down to High stops the crashing it seems.

Also they look somewhat bugged, the shadows...

I completed the game without any crashes with trainer DX10 Vista SP1 =)
My spec C2D E8400, 4Gb DDR2 1066, GTS 8800 512Mb OC, Asus X38

i done till mission 17 (i play the game when i want to kill time or when i'm bored)
the only crash i get is when mission and mode unlocker are open
and i go to see the cutseen in the story teater when nero start the fight withbig fire guy (dont remember is name somthing with councerer of the fire hell)
till now its my only crush (i use DX 9 on XP PRO SP2)

I get to where dante fights all those frogs..and the game crashes..everytime..not sure if related to trainer or the game..I think going to get to there..and turn everything on the trainer off..then try again..

Ok, i've pinned the crashing down. If you're getting random crashes in cutscenes, do the following:

Open My Computer, go to C:\Documents and Settings\\Local Settings\Application Data\capcom\DEVILMAYCRY4

Open the custom.ini file, and scroll down the list till you see the option SLI=ON

If you're NOT running an SLI setup, change that to SLI=OFF, save the file and run the game. For some stupid reason if you have everything on Super High, it tells the game you're running SLI and if you're not, well... boomcrash. That little tweak should fix it.

Note: there is another option HDR=MEDIUM, and it seems to stay at that regardless of what quality setting. You CAN go ahead and set it to HIGH, but at a NOTICABLE performance hit and there is practically no graphical difference whatsoever.

hmmm..weird...I don't find that file anywhere...even did a system search for it..I am running windows vista 64 bit.

Ok found the file but its called config.ini and its not in the dir you said.

its in C:\Documents and Settings\TokenBad\AppData\Local\capcom\DEVILMAYCRY4\config.ini
