Additional 3.3.3 Funkiness

Sep 27, 2003 Pyro link
Wheee... Anywho, aside from the choppiness in sector 9 with a framerate of 50-100 FPS, which is probably the packet loss people have been talking about (I'll check later), I've been having a few other problems. First, I've been having frequent control lockouts, in which only my mouse buttons respond (no keyboard and no mouse x/y). Second, (this happened in 3.3.2 also), I seem to have glitchy radar. Everything shows up on my radar as a square, and the radar blinks on and off periodically (about 50% on, 50% off). I'll get some screenshots up later...

System specs:
1.5 GHz Pentium M
512 MB DDR-SDRAM
40 GB 4200 RPM hard drive
32 MB ATI Radeon 7500 Mobility
768/256 ADSL

The radar problem is a known bug with radeon 7x00 cards. You will have to edit your config.ini file to fix the problem.
Open it in a text editor and search for:
ps_hack=0
Change it to:
ps_hack=1
You have to NOT be running Vendetta when you make the change.

The keyboard problem seems to happen to a few people. I had it happen to me once but I was unable to reproduce the problem.
I am on the lookout for that bug though.

I have had that bug as well(keyboard) but it seems to have stopped a while back, only my console command would work, and it thought I was still docked, even though I was flying about.

Dunno, mabye a different Bug...

s9 station allows ships to fly through the dock walls. which is a fun way of undocking if somebody is blocking you. I reported it on the bug reporter thing.

Pyro: I used to get that bug about 1/2 the time. It went away in 3.2.0.
