jrrjrr Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 I think today was the official release. The prior ones were the release candidates. I don't know if this final release is any different from RC2 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alicheusz Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 This build 1922 is much slower than Parallels-Desktop-1848-Mac, In logs I see that it use some GL -thinks that not show earlier and I don't have any HW GL. I am using macvidia software video driver. Probably this make it so slow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baliw Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 1940 is not working for me , i lost my sound , reverting back to 1848. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bikedude880 Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 This release makes my system lag to the high heavens, using up almost all the system resources. Gonna see if a few settings don't fix that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mirage3d Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 build 1940 also is slow as a snail on my machine - using macvidia so no gl. i lost audio too. will revert to 1848. but it's less buggy, though. a slimmed-down xp could not install on 1848, whereas it went fine on 1940. mirage3d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
