Post Beta client for January 2012
Here we go. This client include a bunch of lil fixes everywhere, although most wont be noticeable.

It most likely include some bugs, it has not been extensively tested yet, and also, is not considered "ready for a live patch".

It include an attempt to fix whats usually referred to whitescreen (or freeze) that happen when you alttab/resize/minimize the client and i figured some of you guys might want that as fast as possible :P.

As it is right now, people with slow gpu bandwith will probably notice a decent fps slowdown, if thats your case, do not worry, currently i simply disabled the optimization that caused the freeze to happen, but i intend to have it fixed instead of just disabling it, for when we do a real patch.

I also enabled the multi-threaded loading for when you start the client, please tell me if you experience any bluescreen / system crash when loading the client (or other weird crashes on load).


- new in 01142012
* whitescreen is fixed without the fps slowdown that came with the initial fix.
* some weapons particles look much better now (pulse, mags etc), not final yet, but a good step up none the less
* darktraderplus texture
* fixed a leak that caused lag over time in the particles system
* added a border to the targetrender so that you can see the directional arrow better
* Changed the purple color in the chat back to orange
* tweaked the didus
* Added glow map to poseidon ship, Wyrm ship

you probably have set your star sonata.exe to run as admin (bad thing, but work). You can either make the beta exe also run as admin, or you can make sure your user have the permission to write to the configs directory.

That error is something i added about 2 months ago, to warn people who have permissions issue (configs not saving etc). You can play even if the error appear, just that any configs or other changes you make, wont stick.
