Alpha 5... minor bug

from Stardock Forums
ok I managed to lock the computer a few times on my ME machine... when going to purchase a social improvement (I assume it happens for ships as well but I haven't tried yet) and I click purchase to get to my choice of bastards (nice wording by the way) I clicked on the nothing selection to cancel out and the selection remained there... being the ever so mindless automaton that I am I then clicked on purchase. In the background I heard that lovely windows critical error sound and the computer froze completely, no ctl-alt-delete or alt-tab was going to save me from that one. Anyway, I lathered, rinsed and repeated and the same issue occurred again. I apologize if this has been reported already. But despite a couple of lengthy scandisk sessions the game looks amazing even at this early stage... and the options that aren't implemented yet sound exciting... keep up the good work!

Cari,
Can you find the thread you used to point everyone to SmartException and recycle it
onto the message board? We have a lot of new testers that probably are going to
need it to report crashes.

Cheers,
Jack

Ok, sorry people, I read this after I ran into another issue and I haven't been able to duplicate it as of yet so I'll just give you the description... I ended up getting a windows pop-up titled "Hard Coded Breakpoint"
the text read
"Duplicate Name!" At line 1102 of E:\DX8_2\Multimedia\dshow\filters\core\filgraph\filgraph\filgraph.cpp Continue? (Cancel to debug)

I thought it might have something to do with my DirectX SDK, but I double checked and that's on my D Drive and the directory this box referred to doesn't exist on my E Drive. Anyway, I had just moved a transport into a friendly system and I think it was the last move of my turn so it was probably cycling to the next if that's of any help...

Oh, and one more thing, I checked that link and it stated to e-mail the info to a particular address, but the address didn't show... anybody know it off the top of their head?
