Couldnt we just have a guest login and get people to leave their e-mails. Its too difficult to get in.

Everyone who said their login process messed up had a Hotmail address (except for Phreak, and I think he registered during the email server outage).  So for that reason, I'm guessing it's a problem with the Hotmail spam filter.

I don't want to do a guest login because then the system won't automatically email them on an update.  You saw the problems we had with getting people to use Bugzilla.

Perhaps you could put up a notice on the login page about the hotmail problem so they know.

Mm.  I'd need to ask Inquisitor about that.

I still didn't get it. I'm gonna try a different address that isn't hotmail.

'Tis only the registration email that doesn't work.  After I set up RT manually, he's been probably the most active bughunter.  I assume that means he's getting the emails, but he could just be particularly vigilant. :)

Ok, so I got the email, logged in, reported a bug, and everything was fine. But now I can't log in anymore.

Sorry, I was messing around with the accounts. :o You're back to being redsniper (no 7) and your new password has been mailed to your yahoo address. :nervous:

I don't want to fiddle with a new account, so I post a bug here:

My FSO quits when I target a debris/asteroid.
  • I use the 'Target ship in reticle' command to target the debris/asteroid. I binded that key to be 'Numpad 5'.
  • I am using the most recent build.
  • Occurs with any table data
  • 640x480x16, DirectX9.0, Direct3D8.


My specs:
Processor: Pentium IV, 2 GHz
Video card: GeForce 4 MX440, no overclocking
Op. system: Windows 98 SE

First of all, you should sign up for an account.  It helps us out immensely.

This bug was reported already anyway.

In fact, this is one of the most famous bugs on Mantis, since it's being a sod to hunt down ;)

I signed up for a Mantis account last night, but no email yet.  I'm using a Hotmail account... is that gonna filter out the email by default?

Later!

Yeah, Hotmail doesn't let the registration emails through for some reason.  Sign up with a different address.  You can change it to a Hotmail one once you've registered successfully.

Cool.  Use my regular email and now I'm in.  I posted a bug & mission, but I forgot to check the "advanced" tab so its not as thorough as it could have been.  No. 95 should include the following additions:

WinME
FS2_Open_r 2004-01-20 -htl -jpgtga -fps
Also, I don't recall seeing this problem in FS2_retail, though I haven't tried it in non-htl FS2_Open.

Later!
