same thing with me i think i have too many add ons or i have to uncheck some of them

[Sord213]

when i load blockland and i host my own game and load any guns other than the original gun i load and it starts loading then says something like "invalid packet Add ons/Add ons/gun_Shell.(somthing)" and it doesnt let me load any guns i loaded off the forums on add ons

Also when i try loading a different map then the default maps it says "Invalid Packet 12" what would i do then?

I've got issues with the sound effects ingame.  They keep getting mixed up.  Sometimes the brick delete noise changes to some sort of whoosh, and I get bangs when I move the ghostbrick.  Sometimes menu sounds get switched with the death noise or other things.  All in all, I think the gui needs bug-checking, as all of these problems are minor, but annoying.

Also, the game gets crappier and crappier the more times I start a game (mission).  It goes away when I shut it off and restart it, but that could be problematic in the future.

Major, the sound switching bug is as a result of having "Turn off sounds on Alt+Tab" on. Badspot is aware of this issue.

The reason the game gets "crappier and crappier" (not sure exactly what is meant by this) is because torque does not have the most exceptional memory handling. Every time you change maps, torque needs to load the new maps data and store it in memory. This takes a toll on your system, and even though the old map should be cleared from memory it may not always happen.

By exiting blockland, you purge blockland and related assets from your memory. So when you open blockland again it can start afresh and only load what it needs. This is why dedicated servers for blockland should be reset every so often to ensure that the server is not being overloaded or having poor memory handling.

Also, please refrain from bumping old topics.
