I was about to host a game of the Northlands, when the screen suddenly degaussed, and I was kicked to the desktop. Here's a copy and paste of my mythlog:

I noticed the game kept on looking for the prologue movie. I did the full install, so shouldn't that file be copied onto the hard drive?

Windows build has an issue with crashing to the desktop that seems to happen alot with 3rd party maps. This issue has been fixed already for the final build.

nope, the prologue is just the intro movie, that one (just like all regular M2 cutscenes) stays on the cd, since you don't need the cd for the public beta's he can't find it...

and it's not a real error, he just wont light up the "Replay intro" (or whatever it's called) in your main menu
