Hi! Welcome to the community of BD fans!

- Agetian

A really nice update, thanks a lot! Updating immediately

- Agetian

Alrighty, awesome! Glad to hear it!

Added the patch, that indeed fixes the per-cave high score tracking but also makes the final score flicker again I guess this confirms the initial findings related to it - you most likely already have it addressed separately in the way you described above, right?

Nice, thanks a lot for the patch! I'll recompile with it applied and enable saving high scores to the server now

- Agetian

Awesome, glad you were able to track it down and fix it for real!

Ok, so I went back to 4.4.0.1 and I can consistently reproduce the final score flickering issue there (in the old version), but I can't reproduce it even once so far in 4.4.0.2. Thus, I'm 99.9% confident that it is indeed fixed (or at least substantially more rare - so much that I can't even trigger...

Ah, no worries, I kept it disabled to avoid possible bugs and issues as I realized it's an early release :) Great to know, thanks! I can keep it enabled then :) Great that my scores can be kept, too :) Regarding the flickering issue - could it be that it could have also somehow indirectly been relat...

Nice, thanks a lot for releasing the hotfix version! Tested it a bit and, as usual, I have some new findings, hope you don't mind :D First of all, I haven't noticed the "final score flickering" problem in this version (yet), I'll let you know if it happens again or if it has somehow magica...

By the way, can you please tell me what the one line fix for the extra lives is? I'd like to recompile the game with the patch applied, if it's not too much trouble

Hm, interesting. Could be some kind of miscalculation of the final score, counting down to the calculated (wrong) value, then updating the screen with the correct value one frame later. This is only a suspicion, but I will check that... Hmm yeah, that could actually be the case, it could be that it...

Just got in on the BD1 Atari (GDash) cave set: I played cave D and did not see it during the final countdown, then in happened on the next cave (cave E). I may be wrong, but it felt like it counted the final score to 319, then at the last possible moment, changed to something (maybe went down to 318...

Nice, thanks for fixing it promptly! :) As for the first issue, it's difficult to tell if it's when it reached its final value or right before it (since the countdown is so quick), but it happens at the very last moment - it seems to jump back and forth between whatever and the final value, and then...

A couple questions (or, rather, a question and a report) regarding version 4.4.0.1: 1. A minor thing, but it looks like sometimes (not always, but most of the time), during the final countdown and at the very end of it (when the final score is shown), the score will quickly "flash" between...
