I had the same issue with a N'vidia card and only with Soase (my other games worked fine). Then I simply uninstalled the N'vidia drivers in safe mode and re-installed them (it was up to date drivers too). No crashes anymore.
I had this flickering issue with 1.05 version. On the other hand I uninstalled my n'vidia drivers in safe mode and re-installed them (both were the 7600 GS latest version drivers) and it seems that crashes don't happen anymore.
I had the same issue randomly during game. I also have a N'Vidia Geforce 7600 with up to date drivers... Playing in windowed mode seems to solve this for me. But IMHO, N'Vidia didn't fix out the compatibility problems with their last drivers.

I must say (as french consumer too) that, as usual, i'm really desapointed by the french voices that have been implemented into the game (they sound like in a childish cartoon or something like that). I suppose there is a way to replace the ogg files by the US version. If those files are downloadable somewhere, i would be gratefull having a link. Great game anyway.
