From reading the duplicates this looks like more fun bugs caused by running updates in the background. Please reopen if the problem continues or if you did not run updates in the background. Thanks

Comment 26 Jason Clinton 2008-06-25 22:00:50 UTC

Thomas, why do you open each of the needed Glade file objects at program start and hold them open for the duration of the program running? That should kill off this crash.

Comment 27 Jason Clinton 2008-06-25 22:01:21 UTC

Erm, why *don't* you

All bugs are with version <= 2.22.x. I think this went away when we "fixed" the issue with running the game while updating. Or is there some automatic filtering going on? Bug team?
