Bug in R4 Install
Gentleman,
Having just recieved my update for R4 and trying to install, I found a bug! (I
think). When I chose "Update R3 to R4", the install program choaks when it gets
to Browse_I.pxp because the file is marked read_only. I assume this is because
I had Browse_I.pxp from the Textures Universe CD, and it was copied on as
read_only. I deleted the file, and restarted the install, but it now copied the
save files on top of the original save files so I lost my original *.set files
etc. For me this was not a problem since before I did the install I copied the
entire 3ds3 tree to another disk for safety. This is not a big problem or
should not be for people who do back-ups properly, but I thought it required my
mentioning.
By the way, it seems that "preview" can not do much more than 2 fps in wire
mode on my system. (486/50dx with ATI Ultra pro EISA) Is this expected? or do
you really need a P5/90 to make it work faster? I tried this on birdwalk.3ds
with and without the fence. Any suggestions?
One more thing…. the registration card asks for the serial number from my R3
release.. This was on the disk (disk #2) I was required to surrender at the
time I upgraded. Now what do I do?? My dealer also has my Animator Pro disk
with the serial number, (Waiting for the "studio" release) is this also going
to be an issue?
