yeh sorted :) it worked fine for me and looked better. Also i was having to re-adjust resolution every time I launched into a new game. This has been fixed in the Beta.
My only gripe, there is now 2 very small but annoying white dots on the leftish side, most noticeable when in F3...

Thanks for checking it out. I'll check out those dots.. (wtf!)

The minimap not resetting after changing views while in base has been fixed and is on steam.

The white dots problem should be solved. Required some tinkering in the texture internals again though, so some general testing for that is needed.

Right now, I'm aware of the following issues compared to the regular client:
- (Blacksun only) Might be crashing more regularly on the beta client compared to the regular client when using high res textures. He will check again this weekend.
- Straight lines are slightly offset with a distortion being visible along the diagonal
- The training slideshow UIs in training are not scaled up or centered.

Besides Blacksun's one I do not think these are blocking a release. If no big problems pop up during the weekend and if Blacksun's crashes are no longer blocking I will ask Backtrak to switch the regular client to this one. After the weekend ofcourse.
