Ahh, its testing time again :) Can't wait to try out the improved version of the 3D Builder.

Is it possible to get a compact list of the bugs I posted so that I can do a quick retesting or
do I have to search my way through my old postings?

I retestet some of my old errors and they are still exisiting.

Now I have to guess:
a) the bug isn't fixed with this new version or
b) the bug wasn't fix properly

A list of the bugs and the actual status (fixed, open, testable) would be a great help
So now I will stop retesting the old bugs and try some new things. :-)

Hey Thorsten, thanks for all your interest in the project, it's really helpful! I will compile a bug list and post some notes here for todays release, as soon as I get a chance. I meant to do it earlier when I posted the file but i've been slammed :)

Hang in there a bit and I'll get those notes up as soon as I can.

Kenneth, because I'm planning to buy the 3D Builder it is my chance to help getting it as good as possible ;)

But you don't need to hurry up with the release notes for me. Since it is getting close to midnight and I have to
do some testing and bugfixing tomorrow at work I guess I will go to sleep in a few minutes.

Thorsten, can you please try the build I posted over here? It's exactly the same build, but some additional resources files for Europe are included. Please let me know if that makes any difference for you - especially where it comes to numerical formatting. (ie: 1,000 versus 1.000).

Sorry to say but I still get commas in my xml-file where I should get periods.

Hi Kenneth, what about the bug list? I'm playing around with the new release of the 3D Builder
for a couple of days and everytime I detect an error I've reported before I'm not sure what to do:
Was this bug fixed or not? Should I report it again or should I wait for the next release?

I would like to do more testing on the 3D Builder but without a bug list I'm a bit confused ;-)

I just installed the Sep10 update and the DMZH-PZPM-MAK2-P949 key is not being accepted? Also what documentation can I use to learn TXB3D.

Hey guys, sorry I've been away for a while with AGDC and such - I will endeavor to get these issues addressed when I get back into the office tomorrow.

...and here are the issues that have been closed out due to being fixed. If you find that any of them are not fixed, please post and I will reopen them. I've been gathering all of the other issues that people have been posting as well, so there are currently about 16 open issues logged in addition to the reopened ones listed above.

I also cannot get the key that was posted to work. I had the older version installed previously and it expired, so perhaps it is causing some issue with the new install?

I also am having a problem with the registration key. I uninstalled the older beta before installing the new one, and it still shows 0 days left and will not accept the registration key - so I cannot even test the new version. Please let us know how to get in.
Incidentally, if it is trying to contact garagegames server to validate, I have problems getting into the forums and some other sections of garagegames, when using garagegames.com or www.garagegames.com. I can only get into the forums by using the IP address (216.116.32.49). I looked through the forums about this problem, but the only solution I found was to use the IP address.
