None of the team get that. Whats your FPS?
Quote: "if there was more than the boxes and the car"
Ill make sure Beta 6 has more content
Quote: "thought there was water somewhere judging from one of the screenshots"
The water uses shaders (which not everyones computers can support) so instead of using the check i decided to take it out so the game is the same for all users. Ive fixed this by making the semi-transparent blue again.
Quote: "the player never sits still; it's constantly sliding even when it appear to be flat ground. "
Thats because the friction is set to zero. i set it to zero because the player still moves the same speed in the air as on the ground, which will make it so when your not on the floor you go very fast. This has been fixed by checking if the player is on the ground.
Quote: "when i picked up the guns, they were out of whack with mouselook and very choppy."
This is weird. We got that in Beta 3(non public release) but was fixed.
Quote: "also, it seemed that the "dust particles" were coming out of the barrel ends instead of from the ground where the bullets hit"
Look more carefully (particles come out of the barrell and the floor)
Quote: "and, alt-tabbing out & in causes crash."
Thats a DBPro thing, Unfixable
I might release Beta 5b which will have some/all the above fixes.
Also ive discovered a way to increace performance (i get about 200% FPS increace now)
Thanks for all the feedback
