We have many beta testers running a game successfully, but just a rare few seem to have trouble at startup. The acknex.txt shows everything is fine until "main loop.." at which point no more is logged. We tried creating additional diag() logs in main() to isolate the problem in our own code, but we found that not even the first line of code in main() was being executed. The first line in main() was diag("main:1") but "main:1" was never output to the log.

I've read here that there are issues with Windows Server 2003, but this user has XP Pro (32-bit). The hardware is all up-to-date (1GB RAM, DirectX 9.0c, an 8800 graphics card, etc.) We're completely stumped here about what could be causing this. We've completely replaced every file in the instalation to make sure corruption isn't the problem.

The game is running on CScript using A7 v. 7.06. If anyone has even a guess as to what might be causing the problem, that would at least give us something to investigate. Thanks.

(FYI - I put this under bugs because it appears to be an engine bug rather than something with our code, since our code never starts executing.)
