No, you don't open nexuiz.exe in OllyDbg. Somewhere in OllyDbg's options menu, you can set it as debugger (IIRC it was something with JIT). Then it will show up automatically when something crashes (you can actually close OllyDbg then), instead of the usual Windows crash dialog.
1. Open Notepad
2. Paste: ÿþMSMSMS
3. Save
4. Open the file in Notepad again

You can vary the number of "MS", so you can clearly see it's MS which is causing it.

2.4 crashes nice indeed, but not the sdl. I'll download OllyDbg later to see if I get the same error, so far it sounds just like mine so I suppose that screen (if correctly taken) might help.

Does that one's nexuiz.exe not crash any more?

It would be good to know if those crashes only show up on boxes with ATi cards (iirc only ATi-on-XP-users reported crashes here) or if it would be useful for Nvidia users as well.

Who knows more?

As I know the cause, I rather think it has to do with the installed version of msvcrt.dll. Does any of the "crashers" use SP2?
