Just a thought, but instead of tossing an error, it would make more sense (to me) for Darwinia to reduce itself to an acceptable level so it can still play, then give some sort of warning.
I hope I'm not going overboard here, but being a previous Beta tester via other programs, I was asked to do shitty things like force an error, allowing the programmers to make it more user-friendly. If I shouldn't be doing this anymore, please do tell me
