Release id #247263 : Nightfall
There is a spot in the middle of the demo (before the isometric part) in which the loader often crashes on real floppy drives. Sorry about that, we ran out of time to debug. We will look into it after having recovered from the party :) |

Never blame the loader until you really know it's the loader's fault. :) |

Sorry again, my sentence was badly formed :) There is a spot in the demo where something causes the loader routine to hang: Execution doesn't return and the drive is left spinning. Powering down the drive returns from the routine with an error flag (this is indicated by the screen turning red).
...but we have already agreed that Frostbyte will contact you with more details, so I won't try going further into it here. |

Ah no problem, that was just a general statement, and the post made before i even knew Nightfall uses that loader by yours truly. =)
Interesting problem, can't wait to see what's at the core of it! |

Oh. I was just about to transfer the top demos to disk here (yes, some of us do that still ;)). Guess I'll wait a while with this one then. |
