Hey guys, great job on the new update! Looks great and its awesome to have the ability to play the Tiberium Dawn missions, reliving the nostalgia.

Now to some not-too good parts:
1. Sometimes, the game lags up, and then crashes (no message, just freezes and then restarts my computer). Initially, I experienced that when playing Skirmish against large numbers of AI players, so I tried on smaller maps and single player missions. As far as I can tell, there's no pattern to what causes it: I had it on both skirmish and single player, and the size of the map does not seem to have an effect. I tried different settings, but those don't seem to have any effect. The only thing that I can tell is that it happens within first minute or two of the game.
2. The issue with being unable to load saved games came up again. If I try to load a saved game, the game displays the "main executive for Tiberian Sun stopped working" error.
3. Looking at the changelog, I don't think I have all the Skirmish maps displaying. Industrial Strength [2] is not there, but I do have Restricted Access [4] that wasn't on the changelog.

Thanks in advance for helping out, and keep up the good work!

1. If running FRAPS application in the background, then remove it. Otherwise,
change renderer from options and try.
2. Saves load fine for me. Saves from older version of the game may not work.
3. Industrial Strength and The Knoll maps are missing for me too. Probably not
yet included.

As E1 Elite suggested, try different renderers to see if any of them work better for you, the common cause for this kind of thing is a renderer not being suitable for somebodies machine or operating system, it may be a little trial and error course, but there will definitely be one that works best for you.

Saves and loads are working fine for me and other staff members, if you're trying to load games from an older version, they will not work due-to the mass of changes.

This is my fault, I aimed to have Industrial Strength [2] finished by the release but let it slip past me, I lost interest in mapping half way through finishing that one but forgot to remove it from the log. I'm sure I can get it out for a new patch. Restricted Access [4] should be available for all players, despite not being mentioned in the log (not sure what that was all about). Also, The Knoll [4] Is available since 0.6.1 patch.

I have tried different renderers, but the only one that works is the one that would do the lag and crash mentioned earlier. I would say it would be maybe one out of every 5 games or so.

Loading saved games from the most recent version still crashes the game though. Same message as before.

I play on a Windows 8 Intel Desktop and experienced something

Whenever I used the Tab button to switch to the Desktop or Another Program it glitches the Current Game/Mission

Sound and Buttons work, but there is just a gibbering mess instead of seeing the game

The menu doesn't have any problems with the TAB button
