1.1.12.5 not working for me

I have been trying to get my son's laptop setup to run Zero-K, but it downloaded v1.1.12.5 today and everytime I load the lobby, the whole system freezes and becomes unresponsive. I am running v1.1.12.4 on my other 2 computers and it runs just fine.

Working system 1:
Dell Studio 3.06GHz Quad-Core Extreme
8GB RAM, 1TB HDD, Windows Vista, Radeon HD4550

Working system 2:
Toshiba laptop, 2.5GHz dual-core Core i5
4GB RAM, 320GB HDD, Windows 7, nVidia GT620M

Non-working system:
Dell Latitude E6410, 2.3GHz dual-core Core i3
4GB RAM, 320GB HDD, Windows 7, Intel HD graphics

I've tried running windowed and full-screen. I've tried running in XP compatibility mode. I've tried increasing/decreasing color depth (16/32-bit). I have completely deleted all files and downloaded completely fresh twice, but nothing works.

Please help! My son really wants to play with me while he's on Xmas break.

Maybe it is some widget.
Afaik they can command spring to allocate memory for them (or request huge return values).

If the previous version works, you can try a revision in-between and search which change causes the failure.

Is it just 1.1.12.5 ?

Actually, it WAS the Intel GMA HD 3000 onboard graphics. I finally got the game to load, but it would not render any of the models. Thank goodness it was Christmas time and the commander was wearing a little elf hat, because that was the only thing that appeared on the screen. It just sat atop an invisible, yet fully functional, commander. Buildings and units were the same. To confirm, when I checked the game log and the System Event logs, they were full of rendering issues. It appears that the onboard Intel GMA HD 3000 graphics were not up to the task, even at Minimal settings. But, I just set it up on his PC and it worked fine...except when playing against CAI. The CAI just builds like mad and within an hour or less, the framerate is down to 1-6 fps.

Any ideas how to fix that? His computer is more than up to the challenge, but rendering all the CAI units and animation onscreen just brings our systems to their knees.

His PC:
AMD A4-5300 3.2GHz Dual-core, 8GB DDR3 RAM, 1TB HDD, ATi Dual Graphics with onboard Radeon HD 7480 and Radeon HD 7750 1GB GDDR5 card.
