Locking up with patch 6 and/or the new Uterus map. No lockups with patch 5 and/or the old Uterus map. Obviously this new patch has brought out some kind of problem with my computer, since it can't be a problem with the patch. All drivers are as current as I can make them (sound card driver is pretty old..... but it worked just dandy with Patch 5), Direct X 8.0a, Athlon 900Mhz,256mb Ram, Geforce 2MX. All worked well before in patch 5 (although my computer was locking up before they released a different version of Baltic, once they released the new version the lockups stopped).

1. Are you running Zone Alarm or another firewall type program? If so, have you set it to allow access properly?
2. I've seen a few problems lately when new terrains come down via the auto-updater, likely due to network hiccups during the transfer. When in doubt, delete the terrain from the terrains folder in AH and grab a fresh tasty copy from the web page downloads section. That often fixes terrain issues. If you can't get it to come down properly, ping me via email and I'll post a copy of mine for you to grab.

In my case, somehow the ZA settings were changed during the update process. I dont quite know how. But in any case, RECHECK your firewall settings, they may have been changed by the update somehow.
