Has this been addressed yet? Thanks in advance.

BUMP

I suspect this problem occurs whenever an Internet connection drops out during gameplay, and Foldit tries to use the Internet, but obviously cannot (Timeout issue). For wireless Internet users, this can be a fairly common occurrence, with dependence upon signal strength being key.

assigning... we thank you for your patience

Thanks, beta_helix. Maybe Foldit could be programmed to display the word "Offline" in the chat boxes, if it looses connection to the Internet (similar to the "Joining chat..." message).

Win 7 64 bit, very similar:

Faulting application name: Foldit.exe, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x4e761405
Faulting module name: game_library.dll, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x4ecafe77
Exception code: 0xc0000005
Fault offset: 0x008ad717
Faulting process id: 0x19f1c
Faulting application start time: 0x01cca95c87282633
Faulting application path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Foldit\Foldit.exe
Faulting module path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Foldit\cmp-binary-5dae2de7da95a25528d26f65c401e6dc\game_library.dll
Report Id: d713e351-154f-11e1-a6b1-78dd08ae4eef

Crashes every time during "Loading..." splash regardless of options or whether choosing Play Online or Play Offline. Quit is the only thing that does not crash. Is there additional information I can provide?

re-assigning... hopefully this will get addressed more quickly this way!

Hmm interesting.
I have win 7 64 bit and wireless and I have never had that happen.
Perhaps its because I am logged in on a chat client, so any discons dont affect my game client.

Same thing happens with me during downloading not during game. The internet gets disconnected and if reconnected the foldit totally crashes. I than restart everything again.
