Also check that your Anti-Virus (I assume you are using some!
) is up-to date and hasn't quarantined the TD.exe file!

I end up having to ctrl/alt/del and manually shut it down and then restart it during my tournaments (about 4 times per tourney).I have a lot of sympathy for users of TD and also Corey.. the various hangup and keystroke issues are unbelievably difficult to diagnose without actually seeing the issue or without any detailed information.
This is a limited test, and it didn't include other actions, but it still feels like a pretty big win. Thanks for your post!You are very welcome!
I don't think going back to 3.3 will helpIn the time I've had v3.3 (since release!) it has NEVER crashed or frozen (it's been a bit slow on occasions..).
Reverted back to v3.3, ran a tournament tonight and had no issues.. none of the mouse pointer rapidly changing between icons.. and no lockup. I'll keep you informed of any developments!Hi Corey,
Well.. I finally decided to try the beta...
All seemed good right up until TD froze..
The point at which everything just froze was when the "Suggest Player Movement" dialog appeared, the mouse pointer continually changed icon from busy to arrow etc., no dialog buttons were active and the TD application became unresponsive (timer stopped etc) - the only escape was to use task manager and zap the TD process.. then restart and "rebuild" the last state of the tournament
TD is normally so very reliable.. in the 4 years or so that I've used it, this is the FIRST time it has let me down.
My TD system, is a virtual machine (VMWARE) running Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit) with all Microsoft patches up to 23/04/2016.
My observations on v3.4 beta 2:
1) the mouse does seem to change more frequently between pointer and the busy icon and it seems the TD application is "busier" than in previous versions.
2) keyboard actions are occasionally ignored and it sometimes needs a couple of attempts to get things to work (I'm used to typing ahead when buying in players etc.. I can't do this now as I have to wait for dialogs to render and display etc).
Let me know it there's anything evidential I can provide you.. otherwise i'll be returning to v3.3 !!
Wish I knew what was causing this. I would be very interested to know if moving back to 3.3 definitively fixed it.
