Are you sure you have your graphics card set up correctly, Dizzy? Not that I don't believe you, but I wouldn't want you to blame the wrong thing for crashes either...

IIRC, this was a huge bug right before the 2036 patch. A close up Alpha Strike dumped you to the desktop... I think it happened on IDSL... noit sure...

Some SFC2 debug code used to write a line to a file called "EWdump.txt" for every instance of a direct-fire weapon being fired! This has been fixed in 2.033.

IIRC, the debug code did something like this: Open EWdump.txt, write one line of data, close file (repeat for every phaser fired...ugh).

This could cause trouble when two people shift-z each other at range zero while dropping suicide shuttles and conducting H&R's. I can see why the game might choke at that moment and CTD.
