Not a big issue, but I figured I'd mention that you should set the Installer's text bot control to "Read Only" because you can click on it and screw up the output.

Installer: Very fast and effective.

Program: I got lower FPS with System-Friendly Graphics off, but my video card is only a Radeon 4950 so whatever. FPS is sitting at 64 (unchanged), and most of the stuttering I noticed before went away. That's especially good because that stuttering got me killed a few times.

i noticed that theres alot of text thats light blue in the old client and white in the beta. everything looked vaguely wierd and i couldnt place it till i started an instance of the old one to compare. Ironically, starting that black-screened the beta client

thx for pointing that out. ill see what i can do to restore that little teint of blue

It's the same client, just compiled with Visual Studio 2010 instead of Visual Studio 6 ('98), with tons of very minor changes needed to get it compiling in the more modern compiler and a couple bug fixes Jey found along the way.

I hate to say it, but why wasn't this done long ago?

because compiling c1 in vs2010 meant fixing about 4800 errors, which...tend to be a good deterrent xD. happilly most of the errors were quick to fix, but there is only 1 way to know that.

Nobody but Jey was eve masochistic enough to succeed before. A couple of us have tried at various points, but had given up after a couple hours of fixing countless compile errors with no end in site, especially when a lot of those errors are in windows and MFC source files. I secretly suspect the reason Jey finally did this, was that he thought it would be easier than finding and getting visual studio 6 running on his virtual machine thingy he has going on linux, and he needed to compile the client.

edit: -double post-

Same result here.

the patch include the lastest beta client. so for now, this installer wont be usefull anymore. if some peeps prefer the old version to the new, tell us the reasons and we will try to fix them .

Really good work Jey, fixed all my BSOD problems when multiclienting on Windows 7. Thank you.

i downloaded the new client and when i try to log on it just says it timed out :/
