Crashes
- (IMPROVEMENT) Prior to 3.10 Beta 1 a certain type of UI initialization related startup issues was reported by the game as a runtime crash.

Linux
- (BUGFIX) The game failed to start on certain distributions on Linux (mostly applies to installations using the GOG version of the game) related to a missing or incompatible system version of the OpenSSL library. This has now been fixed.

- (IMPROVEMENT) Filename format of crash dump files was changed and no longer contains the 'r' in the filename before the version number.
- (BUGFIX) The game used to generate two crash dump files for each crash instead of just one file. This has been fixed now.
UI
General
- (BUGFIX) Cases where the UI seemed to appear stuck were fixed. The issue was related to situations involving an excessive amount of sounds being attempted to be played. Visible effects were for example: NPCs being stuck on the target monitor, conversations not continuing, being stuck in 1st-person facing an NPC after the conversation completed, saving the game not being possible, etc.
In most cases the problem resolved itself after a few seconds. However, it could also cause lengthy (technically even indefinitely) delays, before normal controls worked again.
