Lockup with Beta 5B right after doors open.

from Stardock Forums
Just downloaded 5B. Started the program and initial screen comes up. Doors open really fast as compared to 5A or before. However once the doors open no text is displayed and the computer is locked up tight. Power off is only option. Using Win98SE.

Sorry, it failed 2 times in a row like this, but on the third try it works. Blame it on windows.

Like the new speed on the opening.

Same thing happens here at work to me on 98SE. It works just fine at home on XP.

Same thing happens to me here on XP. Except if I am creative enough I can get task manager to close the program and escape the reboot.

Aha! It happened twice to me aswell before I could get in. Coincidence? I think not. Here is the debug log, if it helps at all.

I think that I have it fixed. The error that I fixed doesn't show up very easily when you're running out of a debugger.
