Interesting Vista change in the last patch

[Fracturedorb]

I haven't tried the 11/19 patch yet but the one that came out previous to this did something interesting to vista. As we all know vista tends to run this game like crap and it would randomly crash when you played it some times. Also a large number of cards would make it crash upon being drawn or played.

The last patch made it so that the game would crashe immidatly upon startup a few times before it would finally run. Once it ran though it never crashed again (at least for me, and I am knocking on wood as we speak).

Not sure what changed to cause that to happen but I'd rather have to re-run the game 5-6 times when I first ran it then have it crash halfway through a game.
