A little informacion about CVS builds from 1/09 until today...
Well I looking for a build that Work in Derelit, Fsport, and in the retail which: Sthealths working and no "nebula not limited your sensors" bug. Well that Imposible, none of the build since 1/09 to 02/02 work which everything...

For some razon... the Sthealths stop working since 1/16 build and dont work in any other new build until today...

The Nebula dont limited your sensors bug apear in the 02/02 build... (for give you an example... In the mission of rescuing Snipes I can target all Navs...

Also, in FS_port there are an "Crash to desktop on Jump-out"... well the last build that dont have this bug which FS_port is the 01/25, the 01/26/, 01/27/, 01/28, 01/29, 01/30, 01/31, 02/02 all have the "Jump to desktop  :D bug"

In Derelict, well sorry, but Idint take note all everything, but the 01/09 build dont work which Derelict... and from there there are many other build that dint work which Derelict... the screen just go black on loading the first mission and nothing happend :(

Well lets resume:
01/09 = Great for Retail, but becareful which the "missed wingmen Cover me Command"...

01/25 = Well Right now I found that work well which everything, but have the Sthealth bug... Great for Fs_port and Derelict.

02/02 = No recomended, its the most unestable of all, even, there is another "crash to desktop bug"... When you launch the Helios Bombs, sometimes (not always) the game Crash to desktop... I think the using "-oldfire" fixes this... but I dint confirmed it... But works very well which Derelict I do all the Derelict campaing which this build.

Well this is all I think this could be usefull for reference.

P.D. Well I almost forgot something... there is a OpenGL Bug which all builds... If you force Anti-Alising filtering from an external aplication likes Ati tools, the game cant be minimised, if their do it, you cant give them back... the screen goes black, but the game still playing... For example, if you use the cutscenes afer playing or canceling the Intro the screen just remain black but the game still runing, your only option is crl+alt+del and kill the process.

Re: A little informacion about CVS builds from 1/09 until today...
In addition, all builds newer than 01/09 have 2 additional problems.  Turrets end up pointing nearly straight up in the air when targetting enemies.  Fortunately, most turret weapons will target independantly of the barrel position, but swarming weapons, as well as type 4 beams, will ONLY fire down the turret barrels, making them useless.  This bug is particularily nasty for TBP ships.  Taylor has noted in the Mantis bug report, that a fix for this should be coming down the line soon.  The other bug is more noticable in FRED.  It will display IFFs incorrectly.  If you save an object as "friendly" IFF, then open up the mission in the text editor, you'll see that the object is "hostile"  Nothing you select in FRED in the ships editor IFF field, will display accutately.  Fortunately, there is a pattern to the error, so it can be counteracted, however no IFF option will give you "unknown" as IFF, so that's a drawback.  The most positive thing about this bug, is that it has been squashed.  Goober reported several days ago in the Mantis Bug report, that it has been fixed, so expect this to work properly in the next CVS release.

Try the old 9/17 build. It works great for me and I use it almost exclusively these days. I think it was the last build with no major bugs at all.
