Thanks for the update.
I was actually thinking you could have someone planting sone "virtual bombs" in your game code. There are a lot of bugs in this game that just don't make sense.
I know you guys had to fire some people some time ago. That could be an explanation.
At least we know there will be a new sound engine and that's very good news. Sound is one of the big disapointments of this game.
Good luck anyway. I hope you guys can get it all solved.
