I'm hearing more than a few reports of this, and it is something we saw a little in beta. Our in-office test devices don't do this, which makes it a little trickier to debug.

I'm starting to get the idea that there is an error in the data initialization when a new game is started.

I'm going to have a look at this and see why starting a new game might crash/lockup.

Has anyone found a reliable way to get around this? Reinstall working? Starting a new game, then entering menu, then back into game?

Gatewood has the reinstall helped? How is stability now?
