When I launch sf 1941 I get an engine error. The game launches and I can see the menu screen for a brief second before it crashes and I get a little dialog box saying engine error jibberish jibberish. Reinstalled from different mirrors, other source games work perfectly, it used to work fine on this machine though I recently put XP back on - that's the only difference since I last successfully played sf.

not a solution, but as in the 195 debug builds you can probably use the launch option -allowdebug so you wont crash out
