Windows v4.1.3 crashes from the main menu (Win8.1) #186

I was super excited about the new releases and grabbed the latest one, but whenever I select any menu item on the main menu screen it crashes without any error messages.

I downloaded the following files:

For a test, I downloaded the 4.0.5 data and, combined with the contents of binaries.zip and SDL_mixer, it works fine, I was able to load and play one of the scenarios, other menu options seem to work as well.

Thanks for the bug report! Is there anything written in an stderr.txt file in your game's directory? If so, what are its contents?

From what you're describing, it sounds like it could be an issue with loading the "click" sound or with playing it (it is played when a button is clicked).

Apologies, I forgot to mention: both stderr.txt and stdout.txt were completely empty (zero bytes).

I have just replicated the problem yet again by making a new folder with all the necessary files. This time I got a Windows error message once I clicked on Single Player Game, it was first "looking for a solution" and then displayed a message saying that Stratagus Engine stopped working because of an error, with the only button to close the programme.

Maybe the issue was due to a library issue? For version 4.1.4 I've attached all required libraries to the release here on GitHub, and using those might fix the problem.
