#26 scourge 0.17 freezes or quits after a while

[Anonymous]

I cannot manage to play more then 10-15 minutes. I cannot even explore the entire HQ: after 5-8 rooms (collecting items, using lore to identify the magical ones, talking to npc and hiring one fellow), the game freezes (no way to recover back to X11) or quits (no system instability).

I used game default options: full screen, hardware accel, ecc.
Tested on Win 2k (lightly) and on Ubuntu 6.10, Athlon XP @1600MHz, 512MB RAM, ATI 9500 with 64MB (fglrx drivers).

Which option could be toggle off (or on) to improve game stability? Some tips on the new web site will be welcome.
