>using Beta 11 for weeks, no crashes, no lock ups

Don't you just hate it when that happens during beta testing?

Actually, apart from the messed-up INFO modes, which Hijack now takes care of nicely, beta11 is working very well here for me as well.

Ooops.. except for the infinitely-growing config.ini file problem, which could easily be the cause of many other reported issues: once config.ini grows beyond 4096 bytes in size, the player only reads the tail end of the file, modulo 4096 bytes. That could REALLY mess up a number of things.

The growth (for those who missed it) is due to the "favourite visuals" feature in Emplode.

Cheers
