Wow..except the New Physics Engine this is a long list of bugfixes Rep+ for that MA, takes some guts to focus on the glitches instead of just releasing new features :ok:
Except for the slight fact that I can hardly move now. 2 steps forward, 1 step back. I also seem to slide foreward a few steps whenever I stop.
Movement Bug The movement bug seems to be giving a lot of people fits. It is bad here in Australia also but like always with a new VU we just have to give it time.
