'''Description:''' When trying to exit, the game may glitch up and crash. The cause of this is unknown, but is presumably a change in one of the Windows/DirectX APIs that LEGO Island uses.

* Change to a software mode in the LEGO Island configuration (Ramp Emulation, RGB Emulation, MMX Emulation, Direct3D HEL). These use CPU/software rather than GPU/hardware (theoretically slower, but imperceptible on modern PCs), so hardware/DirectX API differences aren't so impactful.

* Use [http://dege.freeweb.hu/ dgVoodoo]. This wraps several old DirectX API calls to modern DirectX 11 calls, fixing a huge amount of compatibility issues with modern software and hardware.
