Since the game seems to be lacking a solid port from the [DEV] team, I'm not sure if we'll see an update ever, or at the very least until Tiger is released.
If the game keeps crashing on load, try deleting your prefs files, or simply get a new copy and reinstall it. Though, once it loads normally, finding a decent server running 2.1.0 is hard to do.
Makes me sad to see this game get pushed under the rug due to MAC licensing issues with GameSpy, it is a truly great game, and free, can't beat that.
