hook-up
* Bug correction: under certain circumstances with serious lag in a multiplayer
game, the lagging player's loading screen would freeze at 100%, forcing a hard
reset

launch of the game, resulting in blank replay files

to capture a POW several times

especially improving performance in bigger games

memory allocation failure); as we still however haven't been able to reproduce
this bug internally, we also haven't been able to verify this fix.
