The game locks up when I try to access "Challenges" in the MAN2 menu. It has worked ok before. The only thing I did today was to send my first personal challenge to another player.

Any advice? Bug report is sent..

Yes, every single time I try to access "Challenges". The mouse still works, but everything else freezes. Well, except some soundbites that continues to play on repeat :) I can't access windows unless I press CTL-ALT-DEL several times.

I have reinstalled the game and reinstalled the graphics driver. Still I'm not able to access the "challenges" tab. It worked just after reistalling the game, but as soon as I selected "list by rank" it froze on me again.
Devs or anyone, advice or suggestions? Pretty frustrating..

My specs:
Win XPPRO SP2
Radeon X700 w/ Catalyst 6.1 (6.3 makes blue shadows :()
P2.8Ghz
1Gb ram

Long shot here ...

I had problems with an other game, pc kept on freezing.
Someone suggested me to test my cooling system, so I opened my pc case and played the game with my case open. (Max cooling jah?)
Problem was away. Closed the case again, problem returned.

Like I said, a long shot, but you could try this..

Good suggestion. But I can play any other game for as long as I like without it frezing up. It is very strange; sometimes I am not able to acces Challenges, other times I can access it but suddenly it can freeze. And then only in this menu.

I think it may be software related, because I noticed that the sorting (by rank etc.) is sometimes not correct. Thus some conflict could exist.

Today it works :) AND the sorting is correct.

Well, I had the cooling & freezing problems with Rollercoaster Tycoon 3.
Nevertheless I played Simcity, Call Of Duty & Battlefield withouth any problem at all. So it sounded strange for me too when someone suggested to cool more. But it worked.

Good to see you're back in business btw!
Let's hope it stays this way.
