Hi guys,
Okay using the latest version.. I think.

Following a track I made the other day through the bayou... when all of a sudden it just disappeared. Haven't used the 3-d mode much lately, so couldn;t really teel ya if it was a one time thing. Just thought I'd post it here and let ya know.... FYI.

Here is the log... post crash.

Okay... just realized I'm not on the latest beta.

I'll try and add myself back to the beta mail group list.
But it was a pretty current beta.

Thanks,
TC

Yeah, we don't always send out emails for each beta, esp. if it's just testing or fixing something for someone that's having a problem.

So you're still on the list.

As for the crash... make sure video drivers are the most current.  One of my laptops has a ATI Mobility and I ended up needing to use "Omega Drivers" to get 3d to work at all.  We'll be posting some info about the Omega drivers soon.

If there's some repeatable set of circumstances to the crash it might help us, but likely it's a driver problem, given what I know about that video card.
