Well, the latest patch fixed it...
But now I get the occational RED SCREEN OF DEATH (insert organ music)

Once in a blue moon the screen goes red and all I can do is bail out and type on the radio. Can't see anything, (except when I bail ieverything goes blue.) Can't [esc] to the control panel, but I can type on the radio. Tried fiddling with graphics settings, tried lower res. Nada, still happens.
