first when I switch from windowed to full screen I get 2 pointers, one is the in-game pointer which is unresponsive and the other is the Xwindow pointer.
Second, when I try to pre-load the textures vendetta hangs at 18%, not pre-loading the textures fixes this problem.

I think that this may have something to do with the new models for the widgets that are floating in space, as I dropped an free blaster and some water and the game froze on me on two occasions.
