small 1.7.1 bugs

Post by bigbro »

Hi,

I hope I'm on the right forum. I'd like to report 2 small 1.7.1 bugs. No big deal in both cases, but here we go :
1) a small cosmetic bug : when I click a game that's red cause I wanna check which plugin is required, and then try to host a game, my game's title is the same as the one of the game I couldn't join (kinda similar as the 'Bob' bug that was fixed in 1.7.1 final)
2) slightly more annoying : I tend to get artifacts on screen, in the upper corners, especially when not zoomed max out. Height is about the same as the upper status bar (which i usually turn off), and they are about the same size in length. I can't remember this happening either in 1.7 or 1.7.1 beta.

(os x 10.5.8, 2008 iMac with radeon hd2600)

See ya on mnet,

Here we go. Picture is not very conclusive, it doesn't happen all the time.

That has always been like that. What happens is that some mapmakers lower their maps a bit too low causing that issue. The camera can only view so far and that happens to the part it can't view because it is a bit farther than its limit.

The game name/setting thing has always been there as well. The only case I can think of that makes it useful is if you wish to know what plugin was used in a game that is closed or in progress. But yea it can be a bit annoying.
