YES!
There is problem when windows locale settings NOT have "." (point) as decimal separator.
I change mine "," to "." and game is working. :)
PLZ fix it asap :)
IE just add a paremater -nolocale to exe file ;]

Problem:

  • foldit client crashes after update when loading puzzle or when try to move side chain in intro puzzle
  • you have NOT English windows and/or non-english regional options

Cause (probably):

  • client use regional options when importing scoring database(s)
  • database use "." as decimal, regional options have another sign

WORKAROUND:

  • open control panel
  • open "regional options" applet
  • change decimal character to "." (dot) or language to English (apply!)
  • run client, load puzzle
  • you may change back regional options

You need to change regional options always b4 you run client.
