Just a little life sign from the devs here.

I'm happy to report that things didn't turn out well lately, for once. Last weekend was set to upload the first beta, but first we checked the new installer, key system and stuff on as many computers we could lay our hands on. And the result was.............duh.

Well, almost everything worked as it should, but the communications sounded like a stuttering moron on valium. ( Were NOT stating that you are a moron just because you stutter btw! )

As true Windows lovers ( :P) we used the WM_TIMER function to time the sounds, and it turned out to be a big mistake! It turned out to be such a low priority function that time could differ in several seconds if computer load was heavy.
Don't know what's the point using a timer function with a millisecond resolution if it differs in several seconds from time to time.

So, it was back to the drawing board and start all over with the comms using our own timer. With a much better result.
And that is what's happening at the moment.

So beta release postponed for now, but should be finished within next month.

Cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeras!!!! ;D
