As always, please report any crashes or bugs you find, via the bug reporter or the web bug-form, and feel free to bring issues to out attention on the messageboard. Again, thanks for bearing with us on the server instabilities, we should have them straightened out pretty soon.

Specifically, regarding videocard issues and the like, if you reported a bug previously that is still occuring in 3.3.6, please report it again. We made so many fixes to various video/driver code that it's tough for us to tell whether we fixed everything or not (especially since many of the problems are difficult for us to reproduce). So if you're still experiencing problems, continue to let us know. Thanks.
