  • i was reported a problem with screenshots and weird mouse behavior. Other games seem to be affected too.
    Could that be caused by a buggy patch?

    Well if that still holds true (does it at all?) why do you keep thinking its a Nexuiz problem? Also please tell us if its just the screenshots that show that problem or also while playing?

  • Was 4m just reporting your problem Leader? So is this now fixed for good or are those two problems?

    Strange though putting files on a usb stick should not corrupt them i carry quite a lot of stuff around on my usb stick and never had any problems. But i also keep a backup of that stick on disc as i read that flash only allows for a certain write operations and the file access table gets written to for almost any write operation you do on disc ;)

  • Thanks for the answer. Just in case you find out what caused the problems post them here. A usb stick does not change files. I think it would be 'ok' if it brakes on mac as usb sticks use vfat but some of the mac files use symbolic links which might brake on vfat depending on the unzip program used..

  • Well, good unzip programs would then duplicate the files... and cause no problems with the symlinks.
    1. Open Notepad
    2. Paste: ÿþMSMSMS
    3. Save
    4. Open the file in Notepad again

    You can vary the number of "MS", so you can clearly see it's MS which is causing it.

  • The USB stick might have added to the system confusion but the main problem seemed to be one of the Quake Community maps (dunno which). Most probably its the one that caused the "missing menu" bug.
    He said he deleted it and everything works normal now.

    Watch out! Leader's coming to frag us! ;)
