Hi Matthew
I get all the same problems on some computers and not others so the problems
are platform based.
At present I test on two Win 7 platforms and six XP platforms (it takes about 6
hours to do clean builds)
I also build in Linux on 3 platforms
I addition I also have virtuals on the Win 7 platforms
1. I have the problem with the spheric mirror on some builds but not all
2. The splash screen is entirely missing on two windows builds, flashes for
less than a second on one and works on the rest
3. FPS has been dropping for some time as more is added to the source
I have not had any problems with Linux except I had to update all my linux
Ubuntu to 12.04 because of the Qt 4.8 requirement. 5 linux installs also too
some time. (updating earlier ubunto to 4.8 is worse than starting affresh with
a new 12.04)
I believe that there are too many people trying to put their own versions of
additions into the main trunk without a full test on all platforms before
merging. I think everyone builds the Unix versions without having multiple
windows platforms to test on
If you look at the source code there are lots of if-else statements for Mac,
Linux and windows and I believe that the required attention is not being given
to these conditions.
