sorry for late respond, had trouble setting up a router...
commandline from launcher 5.5c
D:\igre\fs2\fs2_open_C08302008.exe -mod GhostRevenants,MediaVPs,LS_Neb -spec -glow -env -mipmap -nomotiondebris -missile_lighting -normal -dualscanlines -targetinfo -orbradar -rearm_timer -ballistic_gauge -ship_choice_3d -3dwarp -warp_flash -fps -no_emissive_light -spec_exp 11 -spec_point .6 -spec_static .8 -spec_tube .4
its a very rare hang tho, and for the commands that i said, i meant these ones in the launcher commandline.
from what i've gathered, that bug might be related to the way that the launcher calls the selected build to be launched, but i didnt manage to repeat it. its probably a series of some idiotic coincidences converging on the same spot.
basically, the good old "Having your slippers in a particular room in a particular moment causes the tv in another room to suddenly explode."
