Why do all your prolific bug reports always seem to be afterthoughts?

Take some time and give a bit more info. Upload a save.

What exactly were you doing right before the crash(es)?

Also, you don't have to type out your sys specs every time if you just fill out the platform/OS fields and then select them anytime you do a report - will save you some time and normalize the data.

Other than your partial sys specs and the fact that you were in adventure mode, your report gives no information to actually be able to do something/find the bug.

It happens pretty much when theres a lot of action I soppose,

Im trying to swim to an island in adventure mode and I keep crashing while swimming, I guess it has to do with the underground or somthing.

When it happens the game suddenly hangs and stops responding, then the cursor goes away but comes back if I move it outside the window. I have 3 or so outcomes, 1: I try to click the window and my cursor goes into an hourglass and it stops responding and goes white so I close it out. or 2: I can try to wait it out untill it stops hanging and not touch anything, but if so much as a window opens it ends up stopping and I need to close it out.

When you're moving around in Adv. Mode, the game frequently has to load new terrain as you cross certain invisible boundaries. Are you familiar with this concept?

I can try to wait it out untill it stops hanging and not touch anything, but if so much as a window opens it ends up stopping and I need to close it out.

How long does it take if you don't touch anything? How long have you tried waiting total? What do you mean by "if so much as a window opens" -- do you mean, if you start running other programs? What do you mean by "it ends up stopping" -- do you get a crash message?

The best thing for you to do would be to a) answer the above questions and b) get an Adv. Mode save where moving ONE TILE in a specified direction causes the game to hang, and upload it to http://dffd.wimbli.com/

Alright, I mean by window as if I am using steam and somone messages me the window comes up and makes the game crash, not CRASH, but just hang forever on a white screen untill I close it out.

How long does it take if you don't touch anything? How long have you tried waiting total?

Are you going to upload a save that consistently and quickly reproduces the problem, as described above?

I cant upload a save, might be my computer or somthing, But most I have waited was about 5 minutes.
