G'day y'all,
Sorry we have been busy IRW for a while. We did pop in and download the new beta and it's a beaut! It runs great! We had a good ol' LAN game and it was the best game ever (seems more responsive and smoother overall), did a few maps, even a Duel and then our server crashed . Will have to try again soon and see if it does it again and save the log file.
Ok, a minor problem that I think was in the 1.0 and is still in the new betas. About widescreen....
This only happens on my widescreen monitored computer.
in Beta 1.1b1
When you start the game and the resolution is set to a lesser resolution to your desktop (e.g. desktop is 1440 x 900 and game is set to 1366 x 768), the gamma on the desktop goes up (gets bright) then the game opens in a window, with lots of artifacts around it (really trippy) flashing and you can still see your desktop behind. Tried to capture it but it didn't capture the weirdness unfortunately, just looked like a windowed screen. You can clearly see it was set to go fullscreen but it wasn't playing nice!
Then you can go in the menu and change the resolution to the same as the desktop (1440 x 900) and THEN it goes fullscreen.
From there you can change down resolutions in the game to like 1280 x 800 if you want (and my computer wants - it's old) and it does that fine and stays in fullscreen.
So the problem only seems to be about startup. I understand it could be a problem with the engine though and beyond fixing.
Also, I downloaded the new 1.1b2 and tried it briefly just now. It doesn't seem to have the new widescreen resolution options in the menu, only has 856 x 480 like the original 1.0.? Maybe something got left out of the new B2 release?
Sorry we haven't had a chance to record music for the game but it is on our to do list!
