It seems like I can either have HLSL or Frame Delay enabled but not both without crashing at launch? BTW, I fixed my monitor settings back to auto and I noticed I got a different exception when it crashed. The previous version (.204) worked great with HLSL enabled and Frame Delay 7. Let me know if there is anything else I can do.
