I just tested the few new builds which came out recently and non of them had this weird targetting reticle problem so i'm afraid bug really must be somewhere in new code you implemented to this build. The -mpnoreturn flag worked fine tho and i kinda miss it in new builds... :(

Btw all builds have the same targeting window problem. I finally got my login to Mantis so i'm going to post it there...

My role here is to betatest, if i find bug i report it...
As for new builds, i hadn't much time to test them, i just made few test directly related to targetting retticle and memory usage and both features worked fine for me. If you find bugs in new builds simply report them.

...and if you have some personal issues with me stop solving them via HLP forum.

I figured I'd post this here.  WM, there's a problem with the -targetinfo thing.  I've noticed that the new target data display will override an alternate name in FRED.  For example, if you're playing "Into The Lion's Den" and you target one of the Saths that jump in at a distance, your standard target box says "SJ Sathanas" as the ship class, but the target reticle data says "SJD Sathanas", which is what the model class acually is.  I hope this can be fixed.

Later!

OK, so the problems are...

1) Targeting recticule moves around weird in this build
2) No -mpnoreturn in other builds
3) Alt-name doesn't show up with -targetinfo

Can anyone provide any more information about #1? It absolutely should not be any different in single player...for the people that it does seem to work for, does it semi-accurately predict lag?

Actually it doesn't "move" around, it always stays a bit down-left as on screenshot i posted above ...and yes it's same in single and multiplayer.

About if it really works... well i don't know honestly... If you want to hit fast moving target in multi you have to fire by your own "sense" anyway, it's quite common that even on ping under 100ms you have to fire half screen away from where you see some light ship if you want to hit it and simulating this would be really hard.

I suggest to delete that targeting reticle or just even make it as a flag to set in the launcher. I understood the lag can't be deleted in any online games. anyway thanks to make and test this feature.
