The trackpad has a single button, which Swamp sees as MOUSE! (left click). You can then map all other commands to keys instead of the mouse. Or, do what I did and pick up a $10 wireless mouse. It's easier to aim, more comfortable, has more buttons, and is ove

A couple other thoughts on CTF.First, what if the server sorted players so that, as much as possible, the teams would end up with the same number of players in the same level ranges? That way you wouldn't have one team with all level 50 players, and the other

Not select another one, abandon one. For some reason, when you return from a CTF mission, there's an Abandon Mission item in the menu you need to activate before you can join/lead anything.

I have no problem with any missions so far. The only bug is that, once you turn from a CTF mission, you have to select 'abandon your mission" from the menu before you can join another mission. Nothing is crashing for me though. I'm on a Mac, playing via Wine.
