I must admit that whilst I love this game to bits, I have found the new release to be somewhat... temprimental, often crashing out at the level loading page (the one with the status bar) In OGL, it will get to the last bar, light it up, then it will go out again, shortly followed by the infamous program has generated errors popup..
I was playing around with the fan made shadows in the mist campaign for the most part, though the same does seem to apply both to the raider wars missions, and the original Mimbari war demo campaign as well.
I bet you're thinking, why don't I use a debug build and tell you what it said, well that would be because the debug build when the game crashes, doesn't release the screen - effectively leaving me locked out of my computer...
In D3d mode I get general instability, though I believe thats a driver issue more then anything, my Radeon 9200 has struggled a great deal with this motherboard regardless of the drivers I've tried.
I'll be getting an Nvidia 5700ultra as soon as I can afford it, because although I'm sure some of the issues I've encountered were entirely due to the graphics cards flakyness, I do think that this version has thus far shown itself to be less stable then its predecessor in my experience...
I'll happily email any logs that I can recover from the game, just point me to where to send them.
