After going through all setup-screens in 0.6 (and not making any changes) the game crashes when returning to main menu. After that, the game won't start up anymore, saying that I should repair my keys.cfg to continue.
Help, anyone?

For testing purposes I tried to reinstall the game. This time it didn't start up at all, just gave the same error message when I tried to run it for the first time. An stderr.txt was created in the game directory. The contents were as follows:

Apparently there is a problem with my joystick? The key configuration file is as follows:

Your configuration file works fine under Linux and the first time around on Windows, then causes UQM to crash on startup as you described (when I enter the control configuration, at least).
Looks suspiciously like a bug in uio; UQM fails to read the config file on Windows if a new line starts right at the beginning of a 2K block. Work-around: change one of the keys in the beginning of the file (e.g. escape for template 6) to a key with a shorter name (e.g. Tab instead of Escape).
I think I may have to reopen bug #912.

Alright, I changed the Template-6 key to Tab and at least I got to see the main menu. Then I entered setup again and when I came back to main menu, it crashed again. But at least now it starts up.

I can't duplicate the setup crash at all on my XP machine -- however, I also note that my XP machine doesn't have a joystick. If you unplug the USB joystick, does it become more stable? That may function as a workaround, at least.
For the main menu lockup, could you fire up your Keyboard Tester and see which underlying driver SDL is using? It might be a WinDIB vs. DirectX issue.

Hum. I managed to scare up a PS2->USB converter and thus try it with a joystick, and it's not crashing there either. Another possible stab in the dark: You don't still have old content updates from CVS snapshots floating around, do you?
Also, on this Athlon 2800+ XP I'm looking at about 25% CPU usage from the main menu.
Also, all early adopters should do an MD5 sum check on their installers using a utility such as http://www.md5summer.org -- we had a showstopper bug report after an upload of the installer but before release, and the patched version may not have reached all mirrors yet.

I can duplicate this problem using Tiberian's key configuration on a machine with XP and 1 joystick (2-axis, 2-button). Even though the configuration file looks OK as text, UQM crashes when trying to save the key configuration and generates a file that contains a null instead of a space at offset 0x802 (i.e. there's an otherwise valid line that goes "Menu-Left:<nul>joystick 0 axis 0 negative"). Interestingly, Notepad seems to convert the null to a space, which fixes the file. I'm trying to pinpoint the problem, but gdb on MinGW seems to be having trouble generating backtraces for me.

I'd prefer a solution where I don't have to unplug the joystick, because I use it a lot.
I can play the game though as long as I don't enter setup.

Thank you, Tiberian; I've tracked your problem down. The underlying uio bug has been reported as bug 940. I suggest we continue this discussion in Bugzilla.

So this bug is present even in the 'fixed' 0.6.0 release and you have to download a snapshot from the development tree to get this fixed?
Oops... the snapshots are not compiling. The last four entries say 'compilation failed' -- did someone forget to change something when the version incremented to 0.6.0?
