Hmm... I don't have any experience with WinME, but have you tried the game in both windowed and fullscreen modes?

well i think your first mistake was getting Windows ME, as it is notoriously known as the buggiest version of Windows that ever existed.

a possible way to circumvent this problem is:
instead of "exiting to menu" when you want to stop, just hit alt-f4, terminating the game and skipping the menu screen altogether. join games by using ASE (All-Seeing Eye, just download it on the net by searching for it).
and don't play servers that are running the linux version of the server until 1.2 comes out and fixes it.

but in all reality, i really don't know whats wrong, i suggest you wait for his uber-l33tness nightcabbage to come in and bestow upon you his infinite stupidity. wait, i mean intellect. ^_^

No idea if you're gonna still be here now but I'll post this anyway lol

I'll make it brief...

So, whenever you end up at the join menu after playing, it freezes?

that is true, but not always, but very very often, itz like randomized event... sometimes i can exit from game 3 times, sometime 6 times, and then it freezes, but sometimes from 1st exit it freezes, dunno the reason, author dont know the reason...
