The bugs you are referring to are known problems with the floating point variable saves in the MAP files. You need to learn patience... I think the programmers are doing a great job. They don't rush the patches out before they get as many issues resolved as they can. Quake 2 had major bugs. and they pushed 3 patches out in less than a month. None of which helped. Most caused other problems. Hopefully v3.13 will be better... Hell John... Microsoft products have more bugs than Qoole and they are a multi-billion dollar company... Outlook is JUNK, and Visual Basic 4 left much to be desired. VB5 has some quirky problems too like just disappearing in the middle of writing code... I just bought a game from Interplay called "Descent to Undermountain", and if you want to see a piece of shit software program, I'll gladly send this hunk of trash your way.... It is the worst game I have ever seen... Sorry I bitched in my earlier post, but I don't agree with you... There is definately a major bug in Qoole, but I feel confident that the programmers will correct the error. I do not judge a piece of software based on the initial release. Qoole has always worked great until the Quake 2 modification. And they seem to be very persistant on correcting the flaws... If the software were more expensive, I would agree with you, but the cost of the software is so low, that I am willing to wait till the program is "bug free". Again... Sorry I bitched. Had a bad day which didn't help... :-) John Sanderbeck
