Hi,
Hopefully one of you clever people can help me find a way around this - the problem occurs when I visit Sol's Bar on day 2 (i.e. when it's been burnt down).
When the map for Sol's tries to load, the game will crash with a big long error message (screenshot attached). I can't seem to find any reports of this particular problem anywhere on these forums, so I hope it's not a 'Homer Simpson Syndrome' :)
Incidentally, absolutely fantastic job with the mod guys - rarely have I seen a community project (or full game even) with such depth, polish, attention to detail and rich involving narrative. You've done Deus Ex proud.

Re: Crash on entering Sol's Bar, day 2.
That my friend, is what's known in the DXMP community as a GPF. It's what happens when the UEngine decides life isn't worth living anymore and slowly starts to kill itself. This results in what would otherwise be a normal operation, executing itself in such a way as to cause a cascade of more, otherwise normal operations to execute in a normal fashion that the engine would normally accept, except this time, it's got itself in such a tizz, that it mistakes any operation you try to get it to perform, as an error. This results in random crashes (sometimes with more and more frequency), with wierd and random error messages.
Actually, everything there from the second sentence (excluding the last) is made up completely. Basically, it's a random UE crash, and I wouldn't think much of it. If, however, you get it everytime you try to enter aforementioned level, it means your UEngine has indeed given up on life, and you will have to go through the pain in the arse procedure of rescuing your save files from the TNM/Save directory, and then wiping and re-installing DX and TNM.

Life is a series of random events designed to strip you of your sanity.

Actually I think he might of had some Augs on, it may have crashed UE.
Paul, I know you said no phone messages, but South Street's going up in smoke. We'll have to meet at the subway station.

Huh..... Well that just shows the retardedness of the UEngine completely doesn't it? 
EDIT: What the radish is a UEnginge? Fixed.

Fixes:
(This is if you are PDX, if you're WC I don't think you're even supposed to even be able to enter the bar)
For the Sol's side mission: Try summoning winquman and Jackie outside the bar?
For the PDX main mission: Use the legend cheat and travel to the day 2(not the first time you see it, but the second) DXO map. When you're done use legend to warp back to the day 2 downtown map.

Ok, well I tried doing a full un/reinstall, but the same error occurred, so I guess It's some sort of error in my saved game.
I don't have any augs switched on
I'm playing PDX, so I *should* be able to enter the bar.
On further experimentation, I turns out that WHATEVER map I try to change to, a similar crash occurs, so my saved game is just fubar'd.
Luckily I followed the in-game advice and saved in different slots, so I've only lost about 5 hours. Could be worse.
Thanks for all the suggestions.
