Everytime i load ecstatic, then my game, it says it loads successfully then it freaking just shuts down the game... before it gets to the main menu.

I had the same problem. I went to the vac disabled site which is here and I downloaded the newest hack from there. I think there is a problem with the old one and working with the game. Probaly something from the update. But you have to register to the forums to download it. The new one works fine. I dont think its called estatic though.
