 The most common crash when loading a level for the very first time are mission companion files. There are 4 companion files that must accompany all maps. The .I, .GEN, .LIT, and .SRP. If any of these files are missing, copy them from the a sample map. Without one of these files, the game will hard crash when the level is loaded.

		+	The game must have at least 2 sectors in a map in order to display it. Without enough sectors the player will get the Hall of Mirrors (HOM) effect. This is very hard to diagnose because the last thing written to the screen will be the town UI and it will look like the map has not loaded at all. Attacking or casting a spell will show that the player is in fact in loaded level that is not being drawn.
