Game locking up when launched from updater

Feb 11, 2010 Snax_28 link
Locking up is the wrong definition, but a lengthy description wasn't going to fit in the subject line.

Basically I'm experiencing a graphical bug when I launch from the updater. Video/graphics freeze, but the game seems to be working fine, evidenced by the fact that if I place a window (or tab into a window) that sits above the game window, and then switch back, things have changed (noteably the station spinning in the login window). This seems to only happen when launching into windowed mode.

Launching vendetta-client.app results in no issues, I can access the game no problem.

Yeah I think it's a conflicting app. I have yet to figure out which one though. It also happened to vendetta-client.app, so out the window goes that theory.

Might be completely separate, I always launch from an alias in the toolbar which invokes the package and the updater. A few times recently the updater has crashed, click reopen it runs fine.

Er, no idea really.

os 10 .6 . 2

The updater has been crashing for me too. Seems to only be when there is a new update (and then, only once) but I'm not sure. OS 10.6.2 too.

Yea, my updater loads 2/2 things during updates, then crashes/tells me to relaunch. I think this may have something to do with the updated version of the updater, which is when I first noticed this. I don't really know if it's a bug or not, but the comp seems to think so.
10.5.8 and 10.3.9 here.
