Did a quick search and could not find matches

I can post more info next time I encounter it.

Suffice to say their is an error that pops up in the background causing the game to freeze.
Alt tabbing and pressing skip all usually fixes it.
I notice that it seems to be linked to in game objects and when Alt tabbing back in notice an error on an object - i.e. Object not found or something similar on an asteroid or planet when you click on it.

I get this fairly regularly - at least once per game. But usually find it only happens after over 1hr of play. However I assume it is random due to the nature of "missing" lines.

I will take more note next time, I just thought it would have been reported by now.
Am I in the right forum for bugs?

P.S. I am running q6600 8800gt, 2gig ram on vista32
I also have a friend who got the game and has the same problem when we play multiplayer.
We both freeze but can both alt tab and skip all, the game continues as normal but both can see the error if clicking on the right object.

Is their a log I can look at for errors of this kind?
