Engine crash?

A friend of mine is getting an unexpected shutdown of the AGS engine. Any thoughts what this could be? There is no error message, and the log is as follows,

***** ENGINE HAS SHUTDOWN

Well, if it would just crash, it won't write "ENGINE HAS SHUTDOWN". It looks rather a normal shutdown, but it could be caused both by game script or engine itself (if it detected some problem).
Does this occur anytime your friend is launching this game? And other people run it without problem?

EDIT: This brings my attention:

Loading room 0

Do you actually have a room 0 in your game (AGS suggests room 1 by default, although room 0 is technically supported too)?

The odd thing is that this sometimes happens and sometimes it doesn't, and I have been unable to reproduce it on my computer. Yes, there is a room 0 (older versions of AGS do default to room 0, which used to be called title.crm or start.crm or something like that).

Hmmm... maybe it's an odd setting of game.abortkey or something? But that should pop up a message box "the game was aborder", shouldn't it?

This issue keeps confusing me. No, it's not game.abortkey. However, it appears that removing the .TRA files from the game folder (even when no translation was selected!) avoids the crash. Isn't that weird?

Can I check the game?

Certainly. I'll PM you.

Issue solved, it's not an AGS engine problem. Thread can be locked.

Can you hint the issue at least?

Right mouse button was scripted to close the game when in main menu.
User was clicking mouse buttons randomly to skip the logo screens, and occasionally clicked RMB in main menu.
