Windows error reports, just what I've always wanted!

Hi Guys

We've worked on improving the multi-threading in the game for multi-core processors and made many optimisations that will also help out single core machines. You will see the benefits through increased frame rates particularly in land and naval battles.

SFX loading has been made asynchronous, so heavy disc access is reduced to a minimum. This was causing program execution blocking when multiple sounds were being requested at once across pack files.

Various optimisations have been made to reduce the campaign map turn times.

Windows error reporting included. This will help us greatly in eradicating any existing crashes after the release of this patch. It will require users to make sure crash report logs are sent to us via the windows dialog box.

Cheers

Alright it'll probably help in the long run... but it will make crashes just that teeny bit more annoying than they are already.

but like he said, it means that they can have waay more input when trying to get rid of crashes. if that means everythime someone get's a CTD they have to click a button and wait a few seconds, then so be it. i just cant wait to stop hearing everyone whining on about the crashes;i haven't had a single one(except for when i got the game, but that was because of the merging bug.)

Another basic debugging tool that should have been in the game in the first place. Well, better late than never I suppose.
