Happened to me too. In my case, using the 4.11 dll in the game directory solved this problem. Of course, I've yet to play one minute of the game, since now my computer freezes just after character creation, while loading. I have to say, I am quite confident that this is a great game story-wise, but it is also incredibly buggy, which is a real shame (and which I blame on LucasArts).

Online 'PnP' gaming can be a lot of fun; in some ways, one could argue, it is better than RL gaming because it allows for a detachment from sorrounding factors, inhibitions and factual baggage. Me, I've had very little experience with RL gaming, mostly due to the lack of interested players within my geographic limits, so I played a lot online, mostly on IRC. IRC is good for this sort of thing, but it does have its drawbacks. Some of them (like the limited flow of information which causes a sigle battle to last an entire session) can't be helped, but some of them can. For example, back when I started playing on IRC, we didn't have a dice roller, so I just made one myself (you can find it here). Of course, other things (like mapping and such) are not as easy to replace for online gaming, but you make do. Overall, I've come to preffer online gaming to RL, and found that once you get into it, even the drawbacks become smaller and pass by unnoticed...
