		It's hard to say whether or not he'll respond, sometimes he does sometimes he doesn't   
Rest assured, he reads the messages even if he doesn't always respond.

		Several patches later and the game is still unplayable for me because of this...

		On a somewhat related note I am noticing that SEV takes up 90-100% of the CPU. I don't know if this is normal, I would expect not. Is there some way to stop it?. I suspect the game crashes at time when I try things. I haven't done anything like change quality or similar.

		DirectX stuff will suck up everything it can just to display an unchanging menu at 99 frames per second.

		So it's normal? I don't remember it freezing when I tell it to do things before. I wondered if maybe some of my RAM melted. I thought I might have more than it says. Mind you I wouldn't think RAM and CPU usage are the same thing. It's an old version I still use, but the same thing seems to happen with the latest version.

		It even uses 100% of the CPU when minimised!

		yes even when I minimise it. When it's turned off the CPU usage goes down to about 5-10, but otherwise the physical memory is all but used. I thought I had 1GB RAM but there only seems to be 512MB, of which about 8MB is left even when nothing is really being done.
