I wonder if one of my configuration files has been screwed up. When I run the game for the first time, it starts ok. However, if I then go to the main menu and select new game again, the graphics of the race characters become messed up and the game usually crashes.
Also, what should the AI intelligence be set to at PAINFUL? It shows as 85, but I thought it would be 100.

Here is the debugg.err from a crash after I try to start a new game from the main menu after the first time through.
