This is especially evident in the widely-reviled multiplayer code. Likely "NET" is SimBins (or ISI's since they originally wrote the code) name for the multiplayer module. They do seem to have fixed some things (I don't see the 1fps bug much with 1.4), but other bugs are more frequent (completely screwed up racestarts, for instance). This is a primary characteristic of memory-management bugs: any time you change the in-memory layout of the program whatsoever, all the visible symptoms may change or even disappear. - Stephen Unruh ) |
