Actually, it's no longer an issue. The newest version you just put up seems to work just fine

Though I don't have an pics of the robots during the briefing screens.

The latest version of d2x-w32 crashes on me. I've found it keeps running in the background if I don't close the "encountered a problem, etc" window and I can play it, but I've got no sounds, only midi music. It seems to be a problem with the sdl file. I swapped in the sdl file from d2x 0.2...
