Dude.... massive unlimited access violation on kill.

And by unlimited I mean the only way to end it is by closing soldat altogether.

DO NOT POST BUG REPORTS IN THIS THREAD, THEY WILL BE IGNORED.

Post them in the correct section, and they won't be ignored.

I seriously can't wait till 1.6.0 is out. That version will rock all... :P Just Kidding.

Thank you for your hard work and releasing the public beta. I'm itching to ditch work and go home to try this out. I'll also finally be able to test animated scenery out. I was working on updating the Polyworks source, but sadly VB6 has poor gif support. Since Anna came back on the project to update it, I'll leave it to her.
