Remaining R5 issues

I do not have vanilla dialog.mdl unfortunately so I stand corrected.

As Imago demonstrated if BlendImage is used then these issues do not come forth so a fix for this in CortUI/ParciHUD is on the way.

`yt Imago for your help!

The wheel mouse zoom in and zoom out seems choppy in F3 (command view). I've been using madp's autohotkey for zooming and it doesn't have this probelm, the zoom is smooth.

Also, if you don't have the "wheel up" and "wheel down" mapped in the controls for zooming and you have virtual joystick off, the wheel will control the throttle of you ship. On the other hand, if you have the "wheel up/down" mapped to the zoom controls then the distance zoomed when virtual joystick is on (very few zoom) is different from when the virtual joystick is off (more reasonable zooming). And like in the F3 view, the zooming transition isn't smooth.

You can check madp's mod here: http://www.freeallegiance.org/forums/index...p;showentry=211. Running it over this latest R5 build seems to work so you can easily notice the difference.

Edit: Oh and is there a way to add the ability to rotate the F3 view when in base?

Noticed an issue (crash) when upscaling the res in game past 1280x1024 with a native res of 1920x1080 on a 3650. In the process of Installing VS2010 to gather more information.

This is the call stack I managed to get from the crash. Also included are my devicecreation and videosettings.log

EDIT: In R4, when shifting up from the same Res, the screen goes all black, the game continues, and the only way you can restore functionality is to hit "L" , which lowers the res back to 1280x1024.

There is an issue with:
8) 1360x768 @ 60

I am unable to reproduce this since I don't have this resolution supported. I can look at this later but would love to have someone confirm this with the same (or similar) resolution.

Can you test (with R4) 9) 1360x1024 @ 60?
press Esc-D-H instead of L

edit2: Do you crash on a R5Retail build?

In the short time we spend on this we couldn't solve or fix the crash. The game crashes on both debug and retail when trying to render (DX9 BeginScene() call) a specific resolution, 1360x768 in this case. This can cause issues if the client wishes to increase to resolutions "behind" the crashing one. A work around to get to those higher resolutions is to launch with -software mode and selecting a higher res.

We don't think this is a release stopper as there is currently only one user experiencing the crash and there is a way around it.

Just tested this issue again. Dont know what it was (maybe new drivers), but it seems fixed now.

Anyone else noticed that the following weapon sounds are broken?

CC, DN, Alleg+, aso:
PE Striker
EW Pulse Laser
EW A-B Stinger
PE Mini-Gun
PE Gat Gun
PE AutoCan
EW A-BS Can
EW Disruptor
EW Sniper
EW SkyRip
EW SkyRip LE

EoR:
Machine Gun/Gattling Gun
Autocannon
Flak Battery

All these sound use RepeatingFireSound in sounddef.mdl.

If you fire these weapons (more than one shoot), you will notice an ugly sound (less than a half second).

I've tested it on the following machines:
Windows 7 Professional x64 with Creative X-Fi
Windows Vista Home x64 with Realtek onboard sound

Rock said he has the same problem on XP.
