Same, game freezes

Apparently the image patch didn't apply correctly, so there are still missing images. -.-
So sorry about that.
It'll take a while to fix the uploads, so here's the image patch for the time being. Extract that into the main folder. If it's in the right place, you'll be prompted to overwrite files. The missing files causing the freeze will copy in either way, so it won't matter if you overwrite or not.
