The "CM-only in a Rated Game" bug is NOT fixed -- it just appears to be harder
to get. There are a few other known bugs, also mostly involving rated games or
the Blunder Alert feature.

You also might have trouble with your Intel video chip, as it appears that the
drivers for it might not be 100% DirectX 8.1 compatible. This is not yet
resolved.
