Well I've noticed two odd things. When the textures crash out, somehow the text and floor settings intermingle. When the textures are crashed out, floor will bring back the text and vice versa. The other thing is that if I turn absolutely everything (including the HUD) off, it doesn't lose it. The o...

We've had cases where one of the fancy 3d desktop enhancements (XGL it was, I think) caused textures to get corrupted/unloaded. Do you run any of those? NOOOooooo!!! Say it isn't so, I LOVE my four rotating desktops on a cube. I don't use much else of XGL. I have the wobbly windows when moved turne...

Another thing to check: Dell laptops use Intel SpeedStep, which, when enabled, I've found tends to interfere with a number of applications, including first-person shooter games and Virtual PC. It makes these applications run at super-speed. Try going into the system setup and turning off SpeedStep....

You ROCK!! :D That did the trick. Now if I set the speed to -10 I can make this bizarre diagonal wall. I can also see the rubber meter move when I crash, as opposed to pegging out. I guess now I should try to play at normal speeds for a while and see if I need to play with the rubber settings, or if...

Well, thanks for all the feedback guys. I tweaked all the settings forwards and backwards. Nothing much I do slows it down enough to where I can make precise turns. Even double-whatever-it's called keying makes a turn loop one 'grid space' wide. I don't think it's my machine anymore. I downloaded th...

Ok, excellent job cleaning up the code, I guess. I used to play an older Armegatron version that came with my OS (OpenSUSE 10.2).. or I downloaded off pbone.. anyway.. I had to uninstall that one to get 2.8 whatever to install. So I start up the game, change screen reslolution to max and turn dither...
