 I was actually using an image I created years ago when I installed it so it's
the 'original'. The whole bug is seemingly random but I plan on seeing if
clicking the objective button is the sole cause or at least a Trigger of sorts.

The whole game works fine, with exception to the objective button being
suspiciously at fault,  its just like a race against the crash so to speak.

I may in time go through with seeing how it differs with actual Windows ( I
have Win 7) whenever my desktop gets a new motherboard. Til then I'm sort of
stuck with Wine :/
