SOLUTION: if game crashes on startup

[Omroth]

A small number of people have reported that Frozen Synapse crashes on startup, and they have found that either

(1) unplugging their USB mouse

or

(2) updating their mouse drivers (!)

Stop the crashing. I am investigating this further but it may be worth a try.

I've found it definitely doesn't like my Evoluent Mouse (USB), for those with the same issue make sure you have the latest drivers or use a different mouse to play.
