--- Comment #2 from Ben Anderson roothorick@new.rr.com 2009-05-07 18:35:16 --- I just played with some possible workarounds; nothing worked. There's no way to avoid that hang atm. All you can do is switch to a console (Ctrl-Alt-Fx) and manually kill it (risking a hardlock on the switch back for ATI users). Or you can play windowed, to significant detriment to the experience.
