Comment (by m-kiewitz):

 Hmm, this is going to be a problem because I don't own that version.
 If the game hangs and nothing else works, it's highly likely that it's
 some delay loop, which is not detected.

 Back then years ago I made it so that loops waiting for a time change
 (tick change) get detected and will update the time and wait properly. But
 maybe in yours there is code that does the same but slightly different and
 that's why it isn't detected.

 The problem is that these loops would cause huge CPU load otherwise (it's
 like "checking time, if time hasn't changed, jump back and recheck time
 etc.", which is also bad, that's why tick/time count isn't updated all the
 time as well. Games are in fact not even supposed to do this, sometimes
 games do it anyway as some kind of hack.

 Maybe someone else in the team owns that version. Maybe @sev ?
