A few problematic things.

1) Fps camera control is broken, free look used to be a toggle, now you have to hold right click to look around.
2) I am forced into a windowed mode that doesn't have the title bar, this makes shifting spring around on my displays difficult.
3) turning while aiming is still glitchy but I will reply my thoughts in the thread here
4) springlobby crashes outright

(1) + (2) don't remind any change related to that, maybe related to changed springsettings.cfg location?
(4) unitsync.log please

dunno, I copied a config from my spring_93.2.1-77-g6866492 install which had none of those issues.

Where can I find the unitsync log?

I confirm that there's a change in camera fuinction, now when you hold middle button the camera scrolls in opposite direction instead, like in Settlers. I thought it was a delierate change.

Checked a newer version spring_94.1.1-372-gbdc775a

springlobby is still busted. As there is no configuration tool outside of springlobby and you NO LONGER FILL the springsettings.config, I've no idea what settings are and are not available without reading source code. Is there a command for spring to tell it shit out all the config values?

things are still broken in the same way as described above. should I just wait a few more days before I try anything with the dev builds?

this is a side track.

for the latest dev build this is the right dir right?
http://springrts.com/dl/buildbot/default/develop/

or did I grab the wrong location for testing again.
