Mac OSX bugs!

These are bugs I found using Mac OSX 10.2.6

1. When the help screen appears the first time you're in your ship,
the ship spins wildly for at least 1 minute before it straightens out.

2. The game never quits when quit is selected. I have to use force quit every time.

3. On some ships, all the stats are blank.

4. The words that appear at the top of the screen ar slightly cut-off towards the bottom.


5. The ships have infinite (int value) negitive speed. Sometimes negitive speed shows up without a negitive sign.

6. Missions automatically failed remain active.

1) this is because Mac OS can't detect joystick--so I have to assume you have a joystick
hit arrow keys right as you get mouse control
your ship starts spinning as soon as the game starts...but you can stop spinning it while still docked/

2) you have to hit escape then q in sequence
another hit to escape in that mode returns to normal mode (read the mssage panel)

3) stats are blank? what do you mean? in the upgrade room we haven't finished those

4) true

5) really? well the speed showing up without a negative sign is because speed can never be negative... only the dot product of velocity with your forward vector would be often negative--and that's the other (negative) gague

6) oooh this is a nasty one... are those ONLY cargo missions? or any missions
can you give an example of 6...this one can be easily fixed if I knew

1.around the jumpToAlliance there is a problem..Everything gets scrambled...

2.the program doesn't totally quit by using command+q.

3. The mission that was automatically failed had to do with transporting starships.

4.The more jumps I make, the longer the load time for the jumps become.
The load times become around 5 minutes, then I have to quit the game to restore the load times. Maybe there's a memory leak.

the scraMBLED problem could be cus of a nearby nebula?
or do you mean the textures get scrambled

fi the textures get scrambled it's a driver problem

Crash when buying/selling cargo
