The IE crash has returned for me, and this time in every window where the player card is clicked to display.

I had this working for about a week with BigMak's solution and help.

I'll repair again and see if I can get the game running, but this is definitely an unresolved OOTP problem. I've never had to do this kind of workaround for anything else.

Saw a message where Markus thinks he knows where the problem is, but the technical support and pace of patches are much, much slower than previous versions of OOTP and it's a shame.

In the future, I will be much, much slower in pre-ordering or even buying the next versions of the game. I'm going to wait until the forums report that the game is out of Beta stage and is now a working version.

What I like about Shaun Sullivan at PureSim is he gave customers the chance to buy a Beta version at a discount, knowing that it could have bugs and problems. You don't have to wait on updates, you lower your expectations for crashes, and you have the opportunity to test and report bugs.

The difference is that he's actually on the boards and releasing corrections about every three days.
