Crash at the OaR rocket launch area

Help?

So I’m playing through On a Rail, everything’s fine. Get to the outside area where those two HECU marines are going on about Freeman and then… bam. Hit with a MASSIVE lag spike and sound skip (The music was trying to come up but kept skipping badly). My HUD and escape menu also disappeared when the lag started, and I had to do a Ctrl+Alt+Del out of the game. I’m glad I had it windowed, cause I think it might have blue-screened my computer if it wasn’t.

This is the only place in the whole game this happened. Nowhere else was the lag spike this bad.

Bump. Anyone? :C

Had no lagspikes and/or any of the bugs described in this whole section during both of my playthroughs. Derp.
Launch it in DX8 mode, get past that part, then launch it in DX9 mode again.

Eh. Might just be my computer then. I don’t want to have the purple/black errors when running DX8, so I’ll just not go to the rocket launching area and skip it.

Hopefully it’ll be fine with the Steam release.
