Ongoing niggles

[AblitERateOR]

I'm using 1.6PB UB, but ive got a feeling atleast some of these issues are not new ones.

-In ingame cutscenes, when the camera is just watching someone but NOT panning (e.g. watchin some dialog take place) and the zoom keys are disabled, the mousewheel can still be used to zoom in/out

-Ive only seen this in ww2, though i suspect its not specific to ww2:
Sometimes an rpg fired(normally zooked) really close to a hill, it bounces off the hill and goes flying for miles. It should allways explode on impact...I've only noticed it on some maps tho...
not sure how fixable this is, its just one of those little niggling bugs thats been around for ever

-Like the last issue, i lobbed an rpg and real close range when i was standing on a hill facing down the hill, and the rpg lobbed into the air super super super high, and about 5 seconds later fell down a metre or two from where i fired it.

-Out of curiousity, is there anything that is behind myth crashing people to the desktop. Today we had a host crash and everyone in the game got dumped straight to the desktop...shouldnt these kinda of probs just dump you to post or show host disconnected?

I crashed yesterday when trying to join a Auto-Hosted game. No error messages or warning, the game just closed an i was back to Desktop.
And yep, some people are crashing like this suddendly.

If someone crashes on Mac OS X, please post a crash report (past crash logs can be found using Application/Utilities/Console.app), and we'll do our best to fix it. On Windows, only thing I can say, is try to find a reproducible way to encounter the crash, and post the steps here.

there you go.. seems pretty obvious what the prob was?

[Myrd]

Ok, that's a division by zero error (causes crash on x86 but not on PowerPC).

I'll fix it tonight. Thanks.

PPCs can divide by zero?

I knew they were better...

[Myrd]

On PPCs, dividing by zero results in a result of zero. Of course, before any such operation, the programmer can of course prevent this by checking the value that is being used to divide and compare it to zero and choose a different action that the program takes.
