Unexplained crashes
I only just realised it always happens, at first I thought it was a particular mission but it happens to both the campaigns and mods I've played lately (FOW, Derelect), anybody know what's happened?

Launcher: 3.6.9
Crash: "This program is not responding...etc"
Description: Start a campaign. A few missions in it crashes on the loading screen. Open up freespace again and I can play that mission but it crashes on the next. Continues a few missions before it crashes as soon as I try to start a mission.
Emotion: Highly annoyed for a few missions - Extremely unhappy that I can't finish the campaign
Research: I've looked at the troubleshooter and haven't found anything
Other: I Don't know whether I've fixed MediaVPs but it looks great and I don't think it matters much.

Happy to post more information on request.

Re: Unexplained crashes
No... There are a lot of different 3.6.10s and I don't know which one to choose.
Er, I just realised this should probably be in "FreeSpace & FreeSpace Open Support" shouldn't it.

It's being worked on... not long to go!
The best advice at the moment is to be running RC3 - it is the closest thing to 3.6.10 available, and will likely only see very minor changes before it is released as 3.6.10.

Damn. Jeff: you're getting quicker.
STRONGTEA. Why can't the x86 be sane?
