Well, just so anyone can find the time to hack away at this wonderful game, it's a problem with the game's engine, as zero35 mentioned.

The game engine is multithreaded, and it seems to have a dedicated thread for I/O and graphics drawing. There is a synchronization issue with the engine that kills the game once the I/O thread is reading data at rates that are out of their normal ranges.

I believe that the solution here would be to identify where the problem occurs at, before injecting a jump (in the I/O thread) to a function that forces synchronization with the graphics thread.

I have not been able to do any of that, since I've been too busy with my other aspects of life and I simply lack the skills to do this in a short period of time.

@zero35: I'm sorry, but I don't think that I can do this, since I don't have the necessary skills to debug this game. It's not a small game since it's got about 5 threads running, and there is no debug information.

@sp193:I know you've done a lot of effort for this game,and very thank you
