I tried 2 new games, and both times ran into the same problem. When I get to Relay 451, where the Pirates attack, I get the error (Continue, Continue & Mail, Mail & Quit),, can't get past that error, and the little teleport markers for where the pirates would spawn are visible, but they aren't spawning.

Again, brand new worlds, played through to this point twice, same result each time. I currently have a save just before triggering the pirate spawn, is there a way to get an error log, any time I try to "continue & mail" or "quit & mail" it just opens a blank web browser page.
