I finally tested the window/fullscreen thing. Got the same results.

Edit: found one! If an error message is to be printed ("You've been kicked", "Map load failure", "Master server does not answer", these things) and the app is not active, I get the font load failure. Easy to fix.

Good work

.. Are there any other bugs you working on finding right now? Other then the window one?

I've noticed weird lag on the new beta recently. Other people complain about it to. I guess its better to experience it first hand, and it reproduces every time we play, so go ahead...

When near a receding tail i grind it and i slide way out then dont slide back sometimes, lots of sliding no when tap tails near where they turn...so laggy that i always die when i look like im ahead....

Sorry, I don't understand the situation at all. Recording? Or at least some screenshots?

About other bugs:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_i ... tid=657948
The ones with "(Fixed?)" in the title could use some beating at, most notably the one about "Walls coming off at odd angles". The ones not assigned to anyone are those where I'd need more information to even start working on them, preferably in recording form.

here is it not working in fullscreen...all reso and settings are lowest.

Interesting note?: when i delete the files and uninstall and reinstall it keeps all my settings cept my cam, mabye it has something to do with me having another version installed at the same time?

What does the recording do? With me, it switches a few times from fullscreen to windowed mode, then exits cleanly. Window manager events (alt-tabbing away) can't be played back (technically impossible) and screen mode settings are recorded, but not played back (it would be annoying to see a playback in 1600x1200 if my screen only supports 1024x768, it's annoying enough to see recordings made with VSync off

). Recordings are useless for external bugs (those that only appear in conjunction with certain Hardware, OSes or video settings).

No, that's not the reason; settings are now stored in your personal applications settings folder. I keep forgetting where it is in English Windows ("D:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\Anwendungsdateien" for me...), so that multiple users can have individual settings for the game.

Thats all it is, me switching back and forth. The problem is, when i switch to fullscreen it stays black til i either switch back or exit with escape. Small screen works normally though..

It's

\Documents and settings\armagetronad or something like that for me..

EDIT: Later today i plan on making a match long recording of all the lag i experience (and others have complained to that are in servers with beta2.....or atleast it looks like its when their in a server with beta2, somteims when i go back and play on a dif version it dosnt lag and if it does i ask if there are people using beta there and they say yes...)

Bump to remind TnA do send the recording

Also, I'd like to ask those with new and unexpected compatibility trouble to take part in the SDL version testing in this thread:

Hi,

just a minor problem when compiling 2.8.0-beta2... running configure --help says:

Code: Select all

...
Some influential environment variables:
  CC          C compiler command
  CFLAGS      C compiler flags
  LDFLAGS     linker flags, e.g. -L<lib dir> if you have libraries in a
              nonstandard directory <lib dir>
  CPPFLAGS    C/C++ preprocessor flags, e.g. -I<include dir> if you have
              headers in a nonstandard directory <include dir>
  CXXFLAGS    Flags passed to the C++ compiler
...

So I set C[XX|PP]FLAGS according to my system. However, these flags do not seem to get used during compilation. The flags used instead are

Code: Select all

CXXFLAGS = -I. -I..  -Os -Wno-long-long -I/usr/include/libxml2 -I/usr/include/SDL -D_REENTRANT
CPPFLAGS =  -I/usr/include/libxml2 -I/usr/include/SDL -D_REENTRANT

or whatever...

Is it intentional or a bug that the flags I set get completely overwritten / not used at all?
