Various issues
« on: September 14, 2003, 01:10:29 pm »
First problem (biggest one, i think):
It seems the mouse speed is coupled to the framerate of the game. High framerate (100+) results in extremely slow mouse movement.

This is best seen when walking towards the temple: lightning fast mousemovements due to low framerate (5-15 fps), and upon entry, extremely slow mouse movements due to high framerate (100-150 fps).
Also, when on top of the tower (after the massive amounts of stairs, ladders, and rope bridges), the mouse movement is quite slow too. This makes gameplay quite hard at times :(

Second problem:
The rain\'s freaky....when falling, they are basically 2px wide stripes. When you look normally (horizontal) this poses no problems. When you look up or down though, you get horizontal stripes falling down.

Third problem:
I\'m not sure why this is, but sometimes various surfaces are coloured yellow, green, purple, etc. Sometimes this is just a random flash, sometimes this is continual, sometimes it\'s a longer lasting decolouration, but not reproducable.

Fourth problem:
When I manually change something in the psclient.cfg, like the speed of the mouse, the updater overwrites the file. Maybe it\'s an idea to put all changeable things in a seperate file, which doesn\'t get overwritten by the updater.

Fifth problem:
The setup screen is a bit weird: large 640x480 screen (or something close to that), with a smaller screen in that, which isn\'t large enough for the contents (buttons are shown half)...

Remember this is a tech demo these are all bugs that are going to be fixed as the game is being developed almost everybody has these problems so this has nothing to do with your hardware config.

and about the config file i can\'t help you on that!

1.) This is a tech-demo, will be better later on.
2.) See 1.)
3.) See 2.)
4.) I\'ve heard about this problem aswell, although, I dont have a solution for it.
5.) You can change that in a file called pssetup.
Browsing the forums when I\'m bored, nothing more.

for your fourth \"problem\"; just make a backup of your edited .cfg file.
When you run the updater and it gets overwritten just replace it with your backup and you\'re all fine again.
