I tried it and it worked fine but it locked up one time when I messing
with the graphic option. I like the idea looks very great for a
prototype. It has a lot of room to grow!!

I wanted to try it, but it crashed while trying to
load it:
AppName: glgo.exe AppVer: 0.0.0.0 ModName:
ialmgicd.dll
ModVer: 6.13.1.3069 Offset: 00009ee7
OS is Windows XP SP1 with all the latest patches..
P-4 1.8A, 504mb RAM, Intel Extreme Graphics (s***)
Any idea what's the problem?
