The Dink Network

Hello, I was playing The Scourger and got to the part where I needed to get some water for Cooking Town. The mayor told me to find some, and I went to the cave with the crack to procure the water when suddenly the game froze with "Hey, there's some water inside of this crack!" (or something to that effect) over Dink's head inside of a dialogue box. It seems to keep happening, too.

I'm using the latest Dink Smallwood HD client to play, if that's relevant.
