Hehe, here's another poll =)

Who went back to 3.1?
I'd say over half the people I know either went back to 3.1 or don't like
3.2 but don't hate it enough to go through the trouble of going back to 3.1.

I believe the biggest problem with 3.2 is that it basically shows
everyone how much their system sucks. :P Granted, AWC should try to make
AW run the same on the largest number of systems possible, but
sometimes that just isn't possible (i.e. using WMP instead of
DirectSound, the masking problem, etc)

I am keeping 3.2, as I haven't experienced *any* problems with it
whatsoever. (except for the annoying fact that you can't have more than
8 lights in hardware mode :P) For those of you who *are* experiencing
problems, then you'd better get used to them, because 3.1 is going cease
to exist very soon. (along with 2.2) Either that, or upgrade your
system. In any event, the problem is on your end, not AWC's...

Sometimes, AWC can only do so much with one and a half programmers...

axactly...the only reason my 3.2 works fine is becuase i have a computer
that actually good...those popel with 100mhz computers expect it to work
just becuase 2.2 did well news for them NOTHING works with 100mhz so dont
expect this too. Get an upgrade or stop using it

I survived the upgrade without any problems as well, but You're joking,
right?

I'm not even sure if AW can afford to tell it's user base to "upgrade or go
home".

If thats the case it's going to mean less people here in AW, and prehaps
even much of my AW friends going bye bye aswell. IMHO AW needs more people
not less, My feeling is the place already feels like a smallish rural town.
I'm hoping 2.2 will atleast be kept for those less fortunate than us, for
the time being.

I upgraded, had a few problems, went back to 3.1, had problems, came back to
3.2 and was problem free.
Weird eh? 3.2 seems to run better than 3.1 for me now.

As far as AWC is concerned, now that 3.2 has a software renderer, they
don't need 2.2, which is essentially the same thing, but with less
commands and features. I'm sure they think that 3.2 must work just dandy
since none of these problems appeared during the beta testing, so
they'll get rid of 2.2 (as well as 3.1) probably as soon as Roland gets
back from his little vacation. That is, unless Roland bothers to read
these other NGs when he gets back...

heh, 3.2 leaks my CPU's capacity, and messes with my disks at the same
time... even when it's not in focus :-(( but I'm keeping it, the new
features are nice (except for using WMP, why couldn't they have used for
example WinAmp, that lets you choose if you wanna use DirectSound or not)

That's why you should send all bug reports to support at activeworlds.com.
These forums weren't set up as a place to file bug reports. So they
shouldn't be expected to check here.

In my opinion, 3.2 is the best AW release ever. Twice the framerate, and a
software mode for the computers I use that don't have 3d cards. I'd never
go back to 3.1.

Roland's vacation ended on September 18. He's been back for a while now.
