I can not confirm the animation problem with your demo either. Are you sure that you have the free version? The trial version does not properly work yet - there is a time expiration on the actions that can very well cause such a problem.

As to the map problem, the crash will be fixed, but you must compile maps without unchecking the mesh flag. A5 and A6 maps are not supported anymore. For water in A7 and A8, use passable terrain.
