Release Notes - January 30, 2009

[Poison elf]

This looks like a altercation from the svs bug I have been posting. This a big bug I thought, but apparently not taken as so from the reports I sent in on test.

If in a crew before entering your ship in svs this occurs. Soon as you dock, you can no longer get back in svs on your side. (maybe you can if 1 or more ships are on other side than your side)

Any Case this seems to break the svs, you remain to have privateer chat, though it can't be used. As well your entire crew shows flying a flag for your side of svs.

Last I saw this was still happening, I haven't got to live and checked this particular one. I tried many things in test but only way to get this off you is logging out from what I could find.

Can anyone answer for me why I can run shader lvl 4 with openGL or DirectX9 but with DirectX8 it tells me minimum hardware not detected and doent give me the option to use it at all. DirectX8 its the only one that doesnt lag real bad when I sail now with new updates.

DirectX8 doesn't support shaders, so you can't enable shaders when you are running with DirectX8. Incidentally, this might be why it doesn't lag as bad as the others. Have you tried disabling shaders on OpenGL or DirectX9 to see if it smooths out there? A lot of cards have performance issues rendering shaders.
