I've heard it's because Poland has by far the most high quality bug checking industry in the world (It's one of their big planned revenue sources, I think), many game developers are starting to go there to make sure everything is in tip top shape. :)

Yea, October 1st does seem a short time with the various crashes and such. (But than again, I haven't done these sorts of beta tests before, so perhaps it is a typical amount of time.)
Is there a way to adjust some of the descriptions in crash reports after they are submitted. (I've sent a few in, but presumably goofed up by writing "Beta 1" instead of "version .22" in the version section.) Also, how specific do the software and computer sections need to be to be useful?
Thanks for the help here. (It turnedout the driver didn't work for the card, but I found one that has, and I've now gone from not being able ot load the game, to not being able to play the game thanks to the "creating map" crash bug. :) At least this seems on par with other people.)
Out of curiosity, will there be an announcement for when the CTD issues at the loading screen, map creation, etc. will be getting attempted changes, or should I all of us with these issues keep trying every day or so? (since it seems this is a somewhat common issue.)
My attempts to load the game so far have resulted in the elemental title screen, followed some music and a black screen with "version 0.22" in the lower right corner, and the game does not progress further in loading after that point. I did get a warning about the driver not being updated enough, so before submitting a full bug report, I'm planning ot update the driver, but have a few questions first. The dxdiag report for my computer says this about my card/drive
