Problems since 1.07
Most of these are reported in other threads. However, I thought I would try and put all the problems I have had since 1.07 came out last night in one thread.
I am currently running Windows XP SP2 with a 128MB NVIDIA GFX 5900 and Sound Blaster Audigy ZS on an AMD 1900+ with 768MB memory, using a DSL connection.The game was running fine last night, then the 1.07 patch came out and I have had the following problems today:
1) The velocity indicator goes way up in some sectors running in Arcade mode. I haven't tried physics mode.
2) I can't leave some ion storms, sometimes setting a new waypoint works, sometimes it doesn't.
3) Unkillable bots. I sat and shot a bot for a long time. Then when I went to leave the sector, I could not jump out. After waiting a couple of minutes, I could jump.
4) Bots disappear. I was chasing a bot then it disappeared. All the bots disappeared from my radar, but when I went to jump, I died.
5) Right before I came to post in here, the game hung while trying to load a different sector. No progress bar showed up, just the loading screen. I waited a few minutes then exited the game.
The game is basically unplayable as it currently stands. I initially thought it was lag, but am not so sure anymore.

2-5 I believe are due to a server bug. I have reverted the server code to work like it did at 1.0.6 with a better solution in the works. What I did for 1.0.7 obviously sucks, but I understand the problem much better now.
Yes, the reversion seems to fix 2-5 and actually I haven't seen 1 yet either. Looking forward to the new solution.
Thanks
