ok, so yesterday i wanted to start playing around with the worldbuilder a bit...havent done any maps since sudden strike 2 but what the hell.
now it seems that the thing doesnt really like vista.
It crashes at the most random moments. sometimes when generating the initial map, sometimes when placing an object, its a real pain.
for example i create a new map 256x256 with 128x128 playable and it starts generating then just freezes up and i get an apphang.
when placing objects same thing happens(sometimes) i right click then it freezes up and a couple sec later i get the apphang again.
the debug window doesnt really say anything usefull.

tried running it as admin, in XP SP2 comp.mode, nothing works.

anybody have any tips how to stabilize the damn thing ?

it hangs but just give it a minute or so it will eventually load.  I have vista and when I load up a map or make a new map it takes a bit to load.  Same thing when I click on objects for the first time.

yeah, i know it takes a while but sometimes the thing just stops responding all together.
happens especially if i try with bigger map sizes(400+) ... and the app hang just happens without me killing the task or something similar.
at first i thought memory leak since it happened after i been playing around for an hour but the next try it just crashed on the first object i wanted to place.

Is the debug menu doing anything or is that hung too?
