Have a look in this thread: http://alientrap.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=33434

In the first post is a link for a Hotfix that should fix your problem.
The Hotfix is still under development so please be so kind and give some feedback in the above mentioned thread whether it could solve your problem or not.

[demonb]

Path doesn't seem to help me ,I still have error message,is there anything else to do,because other games are fine.

[Ronan]

We need more information to help you. Have you tried nexuiz.exe and nexuiz-sdl.exe ?
if both crash, you should use Dr. Watson's or OllyDbg and post here the output.

[Obi[BE]]

Same thing here: 2.4 crashes after initialising the graphics.

nexuiz-sdl.exe however does work. I've got an ATI too.

[Ed]

Sounds like it might be related to ATi's drivers. Try this:

In Nexuiz/data, create a text file called 'autoexec.cfg'. In it put a line 'exec low.cfg'. This should mean that low details are used by default as a failsafe mode.

[esteel]

Indeed its most probable a crash in the graphic driver so except cutting back the effects ala exec low.cfg i have no other ideas.
But as you said you have an ati card you can try this instead of low.cfg inside the autoexec.cfg:
gl_vbo 0
r_glsl 0

and see if that helps prevent the crash..
both will however not look as nice as per default

@ Obi: that crash should be fixed in the hotfix..

[Obi[BE]]

Installed the 'fix': still a crash
Tried autoexec.cfg tips (both): still a crash

Seems to be related with atiPPHSN function call.

Without really looking at that trace.. could you see if there are driver updates available? Someone (think it was Bundy) reported also problem till he updated his drivers.

[Bundy]

Yeah, I had the same problems with my ATI card under windows2000. For WindowsXP you should try the newest driver from http://game.amd.com/us-en/default.aspx

Because there were no official driver updates for windows 2000, I am using the OMEGA driver, which can be downloaded at http://www.chip.de/downloads/ATI-Omega-Drivers-4.8.442_13014470.html. This driver seems to be very fast ...
