r29612, Win7, GeForce GTX280, compiled with C::B.

I believe the game locks up when you try to load a map after you've changed the game's resolution. I can reproduce the behavior as follows:
1) Start the game.
2) Change the resolution to something else (note: I play windowed)
3) Start a skirmish map.

Behavior is as follows: The map progress bar will fill up, and the loading screen will display "waiting to start mission". During this process, one of my CPU cores is taxed to the limit, the other cores are unused. After a while, the CPU core that was used will drop to 0% load, and the game will stop responding (have to kill the process).

If I load the same map without changing resolutions first, it works fine.

The same thing happens in full-screen. This bug report is a duplicate of this:

There you also can find a workaround for this problem.
But I agree 100% with BTAxis that this is important to fix before 2.3 rolls out ;)
