Arrrggghhhh!!!!!

I've been waiting for the update for months. Now I have it and I am wondering how back burner this project has become. The memory management is NOT improved; it is more sluggish now than before and to top it off, the game crashed mid-battle. The screen just goes black; the machine has not really crashed- it just SHUTS DOWN!! There is not even a Windows message on reboot that indicates the OS thinks there is a problem.

I tried to upload the debug file as you suggest, but the size exceeds the maximum the site will accept.

You guys took a beating for this game, which as I've previously stated could have been classic. I could understand your wanting to move on and not look back, though it would not make me very happy. What I did not expect after all these months was an update that does not seem to have been tested very well.

I'm still evaluating the change in game play- scarcer resources, more expensive spells, the absence of 'Blink,' which I dearly loved.

I would appreciate it if at this point you were candid. If you feel like fixing this game is throwing good money after bad, please have the courtesy to say so. While I would not like that as an answer, I would respect and understand it.
