I know this sounds a bit strange, but every time i use the multimedia keys of my keyboard to start or control my winamp FTL closes immediatly. It doesn't crash with an error message, it just closes. Lost my second save now, at least i now know what exactly causes it.
I use the Microsoft Intellipoint software to use my multimedia keys of my Microsoft keyboard. The latest version is already installed, just checked.
I use the FTL version from Steam and have opted into the Beta builds if there are any right now. At least it generated crash logs:
Wow. That's crashing within the SDL library, which is the third party library that handles basic user input and output for FTL. I'll look into the problem. Sorry about the inconvenience, it's not necessarily something that will be easily fixed. Does it happen in windowed and fullscreen modes?
