so ive been sending all my minidumps to support@ironcladgames.com and today i got this reply
Sorry about your problem. Please zip up your gameinfo folder and send it to
me so I can look into this further. Please include your cdkey as well 
Thanks,

im curious why someone wanting to fix my game liking to crash on maps with more than one star would require my cdkey?
i dont really understand why this person wants the gameinfo folder either looking at it there would be nothing unique to my install, no data that was generated by the game after i installed it.
they seem to be generic files everyone would have the exact same copys of..
maybe they think my cdkey is faulty and thats the cause of my problems

? lol
anyway i told them to contact stardock and ask if my email address is tied to a cdkey if they just want to check if i own a legit copy, because it seems dodgy to me and ive never heard of a games customer support department asking for a persons cdkey over a game randomly crashing every 3-5 hours
