Hi Sebastion,

thank you very much for your bug reports here on the list!

[...]
> 1. I have no sound.
Could you see if sound and sfx are enabled in your config? It was actually
switched off in my case (but since I am usually playing without sound that's
not too surprising). With windows I have sound effects, but had no music atm.

> 2. The game crash often
I am aware of two kinds of crashes: one with an assertion error somewhere
in default robot, and one where the game just freezes. I think both
problems are related to the AI which doesn't handle rescuing correctly.
I already mailed Coz about these problems, and hope that I can supply
more details when I see this crash next time.

That's most likely a problem with the (rather old) plib, which doesn't really
give the best performance. We plan to switch to a different grpahics library,
but this will take some time and will happen after getting the new physics
up and running. But we will have a look at the performance before we do the
next release.
For now I can only recommend to use less karts :(

Coz, any comments?

I think that's a problem with the models: the zippers are probably hovering
a bit over the track, and the physics detect this. I am going to fix this when
I am working on zipper/wheelies (which will be just after I fix automatic
rescue).

 
> 6. The track subsee the wands look not really under the see anymore.
The walls don't look like being under water anymore? Not sure - again: anyone 
any comments?

> 7. I have to install .net 3.5 because then can I start the game.
Yes, that's a thing we have to fix. Unfortunately no one of us does has much
experience with windows (only Maik, and he is currently too busy apparently).
Do you know which dll is actually responsile for this? I might try to link
in more stuff statically. But it would be realy good to have someone with
windows experience to have a look at that.

Which results? The results for the computer karts that didn't reach the
finishing line? That's a thing we hope to fix in a while, by simulating
till the end of the race, without displaying it (which makes it much
faster).

That's a sourceforge problem, and is apparently fixed by now. Now the date
displayed is "December 13, 2007"

 
> Sorry for the bad English but I hope that you understand me. :)
Sure, no problem.

Wrong URL, I guess you mean:
