NOTE: There is a known issue that has recently been discovered. A small group of users may experience a sound-related crash after playing the game for a certain period of time. Most users won't be affected by this though, it seems this may only affect specific sound cards such as the SoundBlaster X-Fi. If you experience this issue, the workaround for now is to disable either sounds or music in the game. I am working on a fix for this issue and will release an update as soon as I can. Sorry for the inconvenience!
**UPDATE** A new update has been released (v1.22.3.1) that addresses the above issue and contains other sound-related improvements and fixes. Any crashes should be fixed, but please let me know in the forums if there are any remaining issues.
