[*]Improved texture memory management to improve 32b OS stability

Maybe one of this items make your update not useless at all for you?

I repeat that Maniaplanet is our core work, and it is logical that it influences Stadium. But normally, you don't have Storm or Valley to update to go for it, just the part that is common.

I know that many update is annoying, I don't deny, and you will have probably another one next week. But after, we hope to go on holiday some time, so maybe you will relax about it alcator

Hylis,

can you please expand a little bit on exactly what changes you made that helps improve wheel support? You mentioned deadzone configuration and separate analog axis for pedals, but what else is there? Have you incorporated a center spring tension adjustability option? This is needed so bad. What about improved force feedback(ie, hitting walls and other objects has very slight rumble but it is extremely weak and almost nonexistent)? Most importantly, what about the option to clear all controller assignments and manually assign what we want individually one by one? Can you please incorporate these things? Please?

please, put your wishes in the wish list, with taking care of priority. I am not sure that what you say is most importantly would go before some things you said before, or maybe. But be clear, and we will look at when we can do it.

I said improved wheel support, since we made the basics work. We have intention to still improve on it, but will see when.

Thanks for the swift reply. I understand, no problem. Can you post a link to the wishlist thread?

its in the first post man

How come the reload time on hit is B3 but the server is in B2? Is it supposed to be like this or is it bugged?

[Qitay]

we will work on this, but we changed stuff on this to better support wheel.

Great, just checked Canyon with my wheel and it's a lot better, still not very competetive against other controlers but gives a lot fun

If Valley is better suited for wheel than Canyon I'll be very happy. And if you could support some more force-feedback things in future...
But there is one minor issue that can be very iritating, especially in Canyon - when you click non analog brake analog accelerate stops working, so you just can't mix them. In Canyon non analog brake seems more natural, it's like handbrake to start drift. I hope it can be easily fixed.

Yop,

I dont have read all but i have see a bug, when im setup the maxround to 9 the map no stop at 9point ....

Im alone to have this bug ?

[steeffeen]

isn't the block group 5-8 in shootmania supposed to be somewhere in 3-?
it doesn't really fit into this group

I'm wondering if updates are tested...
What I noticed:
Royal: Tops (TopPole, TopROund etc.) are empty.
Royal: First elimination stucks untill round is ended ([player] won the round.)

okay feedback : Good update

- UI is better, but its the 5th time you change it. This could have been 1 time + other fixes.
-->The scorebar that popups when you press tab is too big & thuss distracting.

- Chat automatically hidden is good. I asked for this^^
--> When you press your chatbutton the chat should appear back. ( like in CSGO )

- Scoreboard extra stats = awesome.
--> You shouldnt display #rockets + #laserhits and combine them. Only laserhits is enough. I can see my rockets already.

- Power grappler = awesome
--> If you place a jumppad in front of it & grapple , you can actually keep on spinning/looping. The 'grapple-cord' does not 'break'. This should be fixed.

- Echelon = Good idea
--> Once it is finished then please give us some feedback how it works exactly please. I want to understand why I have a specific rank.
--> Display your Echelon somewhere ( maybe in the profile. Im gonna make a post about an improved profile )

- Coloring of maps is different =

- Red block tweaks = awesome


I will be superhappy if the next update is equally good as this one. Im impressed
Good work NADEO.
