Semtex for OS/2

.known bugs.

As every software Semtex has some bugs. Some are caused by Semtex, others are bugs in the system or in device drivers. Here is a list of some bugs we know 'bout:

- Closing the Semtex-window or closing Semtex with the session-manager causes Semtex to crash. We weren't able to remove this bug in the first release-version. Maybe there will be a bugfix. In the meanwhile: Leave Semtex through the menu!
  IMPORTANT: The crash is harmless to your system, but the configuration file "semtex.cfg" will be destroyed. Semtex will crash the next time you start it. Solution: delete the configuration file. A new file will be generated by semtex.
- Semtex crashes during initialization. Take a look into the configuration file "semtex.cfg". Delete this file if it is destroyed. Semtex will generate a new file with default-values
- The mouse causes error in the graphics when moving. This is no error, but can happen on some video adapters. Turn the "SoftwareSystemMouse" in the configuration file on.
- Video adapters from Elsa have problems with the fullscreen support. This is caused by the video driver.
- The video adapter ATI Mach 64 could cause problems with Warp 4. (None with Warp 3!) Please read the note in the device driver pack included with Warp 4.
- A special version of the file svga.exe is missing for the video adapter Matrox Mystique. This file is needed to create the PMI-file. Therefore a fullscreen support for this video adapter is not possible.
- It is possible to switch to fullscreen mode, but not to initialize the correct video mode. We think this is caused by the video adapter or gameserver. There is no solution available.
- Calling the session-manager within fullscreen mode will cause the system to crash. The problem is that OS/2 tries to get access to the screen and cannot get it. There is a mechnism in Warp to avoid this, but due to an error in the implementation of this mechanism it doesn't work! Maybe IBM will fix this one day...

The following points are not bugs, but usefull hints:

- If you cannot switch to fullscreen mode with Alt+Home (Alt+Pos1 on german keyboards...) try the other Home-key...
- If the game updates the graphics very slow try to reduce the sound frequency in the configuration file.
