Actually, to the best of my knowledge, this is a recurring problem that has never been fixed. There have been numerous suggested reasons for the problem, and conflicting reports as to whether or not this same problem happens frequently with maps produced by other map editing programs. Things that have been found to increase/decrease the amount of "blur" range from things like the number of health packs and bodies in view, to the screen resolution the map is being run at. It also seems to occur more frequently when running maps on QuakeWorld servers than when running maps in single player mode on standalone machines. Also, the appearance of blurring seems to vary greatly from machine to machine; One person will report extensive blurring in a given map, someone else running the same map on a different machine will see little to no blurring. Any facts anyone has about an exact cause of this problem would greatly appreciated! -- Sonya Roberts ________^ ^ ^ ^________ ^ ^________ ________/(((((((=O!O= =O.O=)))))))\_____=OYO= \________ *---------\_)___(__)/) C\C_)____C_/------C\C_)____C_/---------* MS.
