Andrew,
Yesterday I found your comment that 2.1 had some fixing to undergo before release and I figured oh great another long wait. I was pleasantly surprised to see the update posted on the Matrix front end and have downloaded the 2.1 patch. Thanks for getting this to us. I think your post about the 2.1 changes is very informative but had I not decided to post a thanks message at the end of my original neverending wait thread I'd not have seen it. I would suggest making it a sticky for a while so that it is prominently displayed and easy to find. Geez, now after many months of not playing SUDG (oops, I'm sure to burn in hades for that sacrilege) I have to stir the old gray brain cells and hope I remember how to play.

Thanks Matrix and Andrew for the new patch! I haven't played the game in quite some time but I'm looking forward to trying the new changes. Thanks Again!

don't know if this is quite the right place, but it's a start.
i've been using the 2.1 patch, and I've had a couple random crashes to desktop. I use XP and everything is up to date.
i tried software or hardware music, but neither helped.
i would crash at a certain point, so i reloaded the autosave, and it crashed at about the same point again. so i reverted to an earlier save and managed to work past it.

don't know the cause, seemed totally random.

just an FYI

Did you play the game with a version before V2.1?
If so, was it crashing then?

It hasn't crashed for me yet, but I have only played 1 hour or so.

I would create a new topic with your post in it, you might get a faster response.
