  this should solve all reported issues, and definitely does fix the aspect ratio issues and reduces vram requirements, but i can't say about the sound problems because i'm not able to reproduce them. i've fixed something that may have caused the bug, but as said, i'm pretty clueless as to the actual reason.

• nice. but most of it is missing when you're running with d3d debug runtime (just thought "wtf, some crosses and noise, that's all?", hit escape and noticed a single green frame before i thought that it might be the reason).

• ...to elaborate a bit: the way a lot of people are talking about this demo is extremely irritating to me. i can definitely understand why one would dislike this demo, or similarly why a lot of people just don't care for it.
  
  i do NOT understand why there's so much discussion about purely technical aspects (like how it uses lowpoly models, uses no interesting shaders, is not effect-centric, etc). all of this is true, but it's also *completely* besides the point, because this demo is about as much about code as konsum, malpasset
  and of spirits taken are.
  
  we've done our fair share of completely code-centric and otherwise quite "soulless" productions (e.g. fr-08, candytron, kkrieger), to the point where not even us coders are really interested in it anymore.
  
  to now see this demo, which is basically visualice pouring his soul out, called "heartless" and "empty" seems outright bizarre to me.

• "Every production you produce is original and unique in its own way."
  yeah, because we take great pains to think of a new number for every single one of them!
  
  "Every producion you produce also uses the same ugly filters, overcompressed textures, and absolutely no "heart" factor."
  care to give a concrete example? because i honestly don't see how any of these three points applies to this demo.
  
  "Where's half the demo spirit - CODE?"
  uhm yeah, now i remember, we stopped writing code in 2001! i KNOW we forgot something!

• psionice: no new screen resolutions (probably). aspect ratio bug is fixed (duh, that was stupid) and so are vidmem requirements for the most bit (still hunting down one weird bug). the stuttering/vsync bug is COMPLETELY weird, i'll try to fix that one too, but so far i haven't been able to reproduce it.

• whew, didn't know it was on pouet.
  
  this demo totally killed me when i first watched it (must have been around 1995).
  
  in fact, it still does, but by now i've learned to live with it :) - seriously, the experience of watching this with soundblaster music on a 286 or slow 386 is completely insane.
  
  there've been copper-style tricks in other pc demos, like in copper and the good, the bad and the ugly by s!p, show by majic12 (iirc), copper faked by aardvark and kukoo2 by tfl/tdv. but IMHO, this is by far the best. the fact alone that he managed stable soundblaster playback without fucking up the interrupt timing elsewhere on the screen is just amazing, and it's the only demo with copper-style register programming AND sb sound that i've ever seen on pc.

• the aspect ratio thingy is a stupid bug and will be fixed soon. the error you get with 4x antialiasing is "out of video memory" - has to do with too many rendertargets being allocated, and some of them rather late (yeah, stupid, i know). i'm working on it. sound issues are somewhat more mysterious (since we can't reproduce them on our machines), but we'll see what we can do.
