hard lock in combat

No idea why. In combat, no changes, hard lock with comtinued sounds. Unable to end program except with power button.

Ummmm... some stability issues?

Have just updated everything -- thank you Mr Gates -- after a windows crash and reformat.

I've had the same problem a few times.  Either when hitting the Z to zoom in on a target and line up or diving into a furball (or out the other side of one).  Not every time, and I cant reproduce it with similar circumstances regularly.  The last 3 times it has happened, I noticed that if I let it go, the sounds would go from normal (but still frozen screen), to a superfast loop, then will come out of it and the game function normally.  I have noticed also (might be related) that since the new version I have been getting connection drops with no noticeable problems on a route trace.  Sometimes I cant even log in (game cant find a connection), but relogging fixes it.  This happened after each update (ver. 2.02 and patch 1), and 3 other random times.

It's a longshot, but it MIGHT be a skin issue.  Happened to me all the time, seems to be a problem with a skin becoming corrupt.  The solution is to delete the folder of the problem plane from the cache folder.
