Wouldn't surprise me, although I didn't notice it myself. The latest patch (gog #19, "build #309") is actually the first version that is playable on my machine. Previous versions went from taking locks on kbd and video and then hanging after 5 minutes of run time, to active random terrain texture, to now being playable. I have too much other stuff to do than to track down causes and submit a useful bug report, though. I guess I should just be happy it finally works at all. It still has bugs: painfully slow zoom in/out when starting an expedition or discovering a new location of interest, never removing the "Start Encounter" button for the duration of an encounter (just clearing the button text and making it inactive), claiming I have 0MB of dedicated video memory (I suppose that could be, depending on how they compute it, since I use a laptop). I also sort of consider it a bug when a game puts writable stuff in the game dir, rather than in /tmp or in the user's home dir (this one puts stuff in "userdata" under the game dir). I like to install Linux-native games owned by root in /usr/local, which is defeated by games doing this crap (and, like Shadowrun, giving no indication that's why it freezes at a random spot during game play or loading). Sorry for the rambling non-response. Can't tell by your post date if you are actually using the latest version or not, given it claims numerous memory fixes.
