Sorry to hear it is not working for you, sadly I have no real other |
43 |
ideas than that, as I don't have my 8500 working atm to test. The |
44 |
sources for the cloop and other bits aren't really public yet, we're |
45 |
still in the process of re-writing our build system, but if you stop on |
46 |
the irc channel, and ask lu_zero or darkspecter either one of them could |
47 |
build or point you to a new build version that what you've got. |

Sadly our oldworld support is pretty bad atm, hoping to fix that in the |
50 |
near future if we can get more people to help out testing oldworld |
51 |
configs for us. |
