Starting with Windows Vista, this sequence has become extremely glitchy due to a bug in the main executable where an uninitialized variable gets passed to WndProc, a standard Win32 function, meaning that whatever was allocated to that memory address beforehand is now the value of the new variable. This means that the value is effectively random and causes major issues. Why this doesn’t happen on versions of Windows before Vista is currently unknown. | ||
The Infomaniac's animation will flicker or jump erratically, and an intermittent buzzing sound will play. Frequently, the game will crash before the user can even select an option, resulting in lost progress since the game only saves when you click the green brick to confirm exiting. Whether the game crashes or not appears to be more or less random. | The Infomaniac's animation will flicker or jump erratically, and an intermittent buzzing sound will play.
