I REPEAT: Proceed with utter caution on this beta patch!!!
This is really annoying now:
I applied the beta patch several hours ago. Since then, I've played several sessions, exited the game, started back up after a while, and the only problem I had was right at the first when I couldln't move my character until I rebooted my computer.
