Geoff was able to do serious surgery to figure out what was going wrong on Intel HD Graphics cards & rewrote our engine to work around it. The fix went out about an hour ago (for Windows). The Runtime Error bug on startup should be solved for all players now... same goes for seeing just a black/white/blue screen! :) if you had the issue, let us know if the update solved it for you. We also had a few other small fixes go out since yesterday's updates:

• The default Turn Timeout will be 10 Minutes instead of 7 Days. This is just a default though, so you can still choose any of the options.
• Made the ratings show up on the hud (they were the same color as the background before)
• Re-positioned the Chat buttons to not overlap the HUD backgrounds & be centered better
• Verified that the "Dark Horse" achievement is granting, then updated the wording on the achievement to be clearer. Both players must be fully (non-provisionally) ranked.

These changes are windows-only since they all happened after the multiplatform release yesterday afternoon... we'll try to keep Linux/Mac builds following closely behind though, so we probably won't even announce when we push these for Linux/Mac, but you'll see the little fixes show up. Thanks for playing Simply Chess & for all of the continued support! ːsteamhappyː this has been an exciting ride!
