I have often seen it. The most critical location is Elysia when you are getting the Snakeskin trait. At least, 50% of attempts results in the following:
- Elysia asks you whether you are ready for the Dark Nectar
- You answer "yes".
- You hear the sound of gaining the trait and Elysia's laugh.
- The end. The game is hanging.

Another moments when my game freezes are:
- trying to emerge from water by means of PgUp, or
- during fights, especially, during a fight of flying Kerah.
This happens randomly and I haven't found out any rules, triggers, or warning signs. The game can hang the computer in other situations, too, but the situations above hang the game significantly more often. As far as the frequency of hangings is considered, it seems to be 1/5000 fights. The estimate is the quotient between the observed frequency of hangings and the average number of killings during a game run. I am not emerging from water by means of PgUp any more.

Here is my current computer:
PIII 550 Intel, 128MB RAM, Riva TNT2 Ultra with 32 MB RAM, Sound Blater 16, 13 GB 7200 rpm HD WD Caviar, CD ROM Teac 48x, W98. Drivers are ok.
