Van
Auto-translated
Van, if you're talking about VT, there were crashes under certain circumstances (installing the English version on Complete (or Platinum)), for example, when entering the thieves' guild (which is in the tavern). These problems have been resolved. Now the version is no less stable than the regular SOD, for example. Download and reinstall the version from scratch.
And about the time... I think you understand that you said something silly. ))))
About strong players:
in VT, beginners often drop by, and I've seen that Stinger and Alex don't refuse to play if they're not busy. It's quick and easy... and even complete newbies come in, and their first phrase is... I've never played online before...
