| I got to about level 6 when I got a huge chain reaction, the last cascade bonus got to 560 points before the game crashed and I was forced to restart. Has anyone ad problems with the game crashing when achieving large chain reactions? |

try to take screen shots and take notes on what could possibly make it crash.
make sure you clear your disk cache and you have lots of memory. not too many browsers opened at the same time. |

I think you meant 360 bonus. Was it like 12 chains? |

Heh, I don't know the strategy to get such a huge cascade yet.
However, as my friends and I have learned, some games just freeze when they think something "impossible" has just happened. I know when my friends and I played the old Conker game for the 64, I got a headshot on someone jumping up and they fell into the water and the game froze.
We assume the very idea that a headshot from the other side of the map seemed to ridiculous to the game, so it freezing was its way of telling us "No Freakin' Way!" |

No, it WAS 560, about a third of the screen disappeared at once when I made a connection, and the funny thing is, it was unintentional. |

| I had the same thing. A huge chain started near the top of the screen. All of a sudden I had a pop-up telling me there was a problem with shockwave. |

| Well, how can you plan a cascade that will wipe itself out? |

| We're still looking into this bug. Might be crashing because of a buffer limit. |

Well, now I can add my name to this bug's list.
It did mention that shockwave couldn't handle it visually or something along those lines. I'll try to remember to get a screen-shot of the game if it happens again Ronald. |

We figured out what was crashing the game.
It should now be fixed.
Thanks for all the bug reports guys. |
