First mission of the first campaign, I build my nice base and kill all the brain munchers.

The moment I defeat the last zombie in the swarm, the victory music plays... And the game crashes.

After the fifth crash, I am rather sure it's not a one-off bug.

Any advice?

Allowing the game in the firewall fixed it for me.

Ahh, i see. Tomy169 play a repack of the game. All repacks - from shcoolers. All wrong. You do not needed firewall for proper clear version from Steam +any normal universal steam-games crack separate. For TaB only req. additional cracked file SteamConfig.dat. No firewall set, no any game data files, no exe replacment. No wrong scene-updates or repacked updates.

I check it *when a steam friend share for me TaB from Steam*. Now im want to buy GOG version and I don't think I'll have those problems.

Right... Indeed it seems that if the game detects an internet connection and it is not allowed on it it crashes. Going offline also fixes the issue. It's really really dum, though.

This bug is still open, BTW.

It also happens if the connection to the server fails for whatever reason.

It should take all of five minutes to find the crash and fix it with a try/catch, but apparently that's five minutes too many.
