Game crashes on equipment menu.

Whenever I enter the equipment menu the game crashes, though it doesn't say what caused it. I just returned to playing the game after a 2 month recess, never had this problem before. I'm playing on a Sony Vaio laptop with Nvidia Geforce G210m with it's latest driver update.

I am not sure exactly what your problem is, but it could be that you applied an outdated .dat swap and the game is crashing when it tries to load a missing menu.

Would it be recommended to reinstall the game?

Do a file check and see if that solves it.
