    When on the "choose thy configuration carefully" screen, it freezes and says Dungeons of Dredmore has stopped working. This wasn't always the case, as I could play it fine up til two days ago, and can still play it if I connect a monitor to it. Did a patch happen when I wasn't paying attention on the 21st? I like being able to play it without being hooked into a monitor as it has a perfectly good screen already.

    No idea what these mean... Wondering if my computer did an update and it ruined my fun. running windows 7 (starter) if it matters. I was hoping to wait for it to be fixed in the next patch, but I figure I should alert people to a potential problem.

    It's long past "Patch Tuesday" so that would be a bit odd. I do have a netbook and I see that a Windows Defender update was installed on 7/22. But no actual patches have been installed.

    Hmm... This is a recent change though. I noticed at least one other person describing the same thing that is happening to me on these forums. I'm not the only one this is happening to, it seems.

    Oh, I noticed I forgot to mention I'm playing on a eM250 series netbook, if this matters at all.

    Admittedly I just loaded a fresh installation onto my Dell insiiron Mini10. The launcher and game loaded fine.

    I think you're on the other thread but I recommended this and it seemed to work for the other person. Try it out and let me know how it goes

    If you're brave make backups of my documents\gaslamp games\dungeons of dreadmor

    and delete the config.txt/config.xml file
