: Good to hear it was worth restoring / simplifying those advanced settings!
: Still doesn't explain why the new build slows down, when old ones didn't,
: though.
Here's one possible explanation: I might not have noticed the slowdown with the previous build because RX was pretty much in beta at the time and I was a bit sick of playing the same levels over and over... IOW the slowdown might have happened not with the current build, but with the previous one (nov 19th, IIRC).

: landscapes back up :)
Nah - the difference isn't that noticable, and I'm quite sure the mac I buy this fall (one of Apple's yet-to-come Intel towers, methinks) will be quite capable of handling the landscapes at full resolution. (there is or will be a version of AO that will run on those macs, yes?)
Two sorta OT questions: (OT to the subject)
1) Some time ago, I passed on a request from one of my betatesters to make it possible to customise the loading bar. I think you said something about implementing that, but I can't find any documentation that covers it. Do I remember wrong?
2) In some future build, do you think the crosshairs could be set in the prefs instead of (or in addition to) by keyboard shortcut? It's not that turning on the crosshairs is such a big deal, but it shouldn't be necessary to do so each time one plays.
