while i was playing ok with 2.01 (although i got random disconnections)
now i updated to 2.02 and the game stucks in the first 2-3 seconds after the main menu appears... the mouse doesnt move , i can hear the music but the game is frozen . i must alt ctrl del it
EDIT: i just saw other posters have the same issue... well, 3rd time is a charm (2.03!!)
Upgraded to 2.02, got a good start button and managed to clear the saved game. Hit the Solo option but hung on spinny sidewinder with music. ctrl-alt-del out and back in, got a red start button this time and can't ping the server. It also hangs after hitting the Quit button again. Guess it's too many people all trying the same thing and overloading the server. I'm giving up for tonight, but thanks for all your work guys.
