When I choose "Check for Updates" in the Advanced menu, my system crashes 100% of the times. Music will play on, and the pointer will move, but I get NO reactions from anything on the screen, and Alt-Tab or Ctrl-Alt-Del won't do anything.

When I start up the game and start playing, the game appears very sloppy. Some animations seem jumpy. For example, the circle below the selected unit is not rotating smoothly, it gives a "jump" on each rotation at the same spot. All audio appears uncoordinated, sometimes samples are stopped or re-started abruptly, and there are some audible "clicks".

This problem appeared when I installed v1.52, not before.

I managed to find a way to get rid of the problem. When I change screen resolution, the problem disappears completely. It doesn't matter what resolution I actually use, as long as I change it at least once after starting the game. (I want to play with 1280x1024, and that's what I have in the beginning. I go and change it to 1024x768 and then back to 1280x1024, and I don't have the problem any more.)

p.s. aside from this and the "Check for Updates" crash I haven't had v1.52 give me ANY problems.
