0 LUTZIFER Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 I don't think anything has even changed from 7.5.0244 to 7.5.0299, so I'm expecting an update soon, lol. As there are a bunch of little things that need to be fixed. And people always say "It's a beta, of course it has bugs.", lol, and now it's final, and nothing's been fixed.

0 HoochieMamma Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 God, I'm having a problem where my chat wiondows come up with nothing (and just now the main one), you can drag them around the screen but it shows whats behind them, as screeny shows. This build sucks. The only build I have had a problem with. Anybody know what to do?

0 HoochieMamma Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Hmm.. that's weird. Try the old uninstall and re-install? 586423092[/snapback] Several times, I even tried with and without a-patch. It was working fine for a while (but couldn't get the custon games from mess.be to work), so I restored the original exe and then it started.

0 HoochieMamma Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Don't worry about my problem, I fixed it. I updated my GFX card drivers (80.40's > 77.11) and removed those 2 registry trees, and restarted and installed again + patched. All working fine now.
