I have tested it with XP and Vista64. stock BZ and BZE work great with Vista64 but Ken's exe causes a DEP error and Vista won't let me exclude it. I haven't come up with a way around it yet so I can't really test it with Vista.

It runs solid in XP, though the stock exe runs pretty solid too. The bug fixes are the main benefit, I love that it no longer causes the mouse pointer to be BZ's permanently. Dx, you should find out what that change was and incorporate it into BZE.

I did that 2 weeks ago though it's not the fix ken made, it works off of the mouse pointers i provided. My code base is quite different than his but mine is much more tested.

So 1.12 won't mess the mouse up? Great to hear...

Seems they made it private or deleted it on the first link.

I would guess he's working on another version that may be more compatible so he took the post down. Just a guess...

One of the admins made it private.

Both links above in the first post work for me when I'm logged in and when I'm not logged in.

The links stopped working for a while but the post is back now.

I've always liked the lingering BZ cursor....

The permanent cursor change made working on BZ a drag, which is why it was one of the first things I took out.
