Alpha testing new graphics engine

Seems to work pretty well for me, my new card was having 20 fps until I downloaded this. As mentioned many times above minimap looks weird. Also there are some horizontal line artifacts after dismissing the tech tree/team window.

XP MCE
Radeon 4670, running most recent driver.

Addendum: Screeny of those horizontal lines- I think they actually occur when switching back and forth from f3.

I used to get mine from F3 swtiching, the vertical lines are part of the HUD.

I think that's a known issue. It's a side effect of empty gauges and has something to do with DD refresh or something. I used to get it most often in a pod, since all the gauges are empty.

By the way, most of these issues are gone with more recent builds, afaik

Does this include the upper left corner bug with Cort + Alpha?

Not on the beta that is currently out. But a fix is underway.

If we aren't likely to see R5 soonish, any chance we could get the fixes integrated with the current R4 Alpha?

No, because the Dx9 code is in the main R5 branch which has lots of other changes in too.

DX9 is already in the R4 alpha. The crash issues that have been fixed was my point.
