I don't like to criticise DarkBASIC, but I have been experiencing a few problems with patch 4. First of all, when I put any 3d objects or terrain into a game, it takes ages to load the game (like at least 30 seconds). It isn't that my computer is slow - take a look at my signature.

Secondly, when I put a texture on a matrix, it doesn't get the right part of the texture and ends up putting small borders on each texture showing the textures from the image file that are beside it.

Does anyone know when patch 5 will be out, and whether it will fix these problems, including support for .3ds models? Sorry to complain about DarkBASIC, but the loading times are getting annoying.

Where have you been????

There is a BIG bug in patch 4 with ATI radeon cards 9000 and below. It causes LONG load time on first few objects, and I also get problem where hiding objects take 2 seconds each! Patch 4.1 is soon to be released which allegedly fixes this.

Lots of people are having that texture problem with matrices but will probably have to wait till patch5.

I've just seen an article on http://www.darkbasicplanet.com stating that Patch 5 is due for release at the end of this month, although I'm thinking that DBS will release Patch 4.1 first. I'm only going by what I've read though so don't take my word for it.

No way will v5 be out at the end of this month, sorry! But it's true - v4.1 is in beta on DBDN at the moment and bar a few more tweaks will be out shortly and addresses this issue (and others).

Cheers,

Rich
