"Mouse delay/lag" problem
=========================

If the movement of your computer mouse appears to be recognized by Nexuiz with 
a delay, you can try to enable a work-around:
Just launch Nexuiz, then open the in-game console by pressing <SHIFT>+<ESC> and 
type the command "gl_finish 1" (without the double quotes). To close the 
in-game console again, press <ESC>.
Note that this is *NOT* a bug in Nexuiz, but a bug in your graphics driver 
software!


Crackling sound
===============

If sound crackles and/or sounds choppy, first try to start Nexuiz from a 
command line shell by this command:
nexuiz -sndspeed 48000

If this doesnn't help, please try the same as mentioned under "Mouse delay/lag
problem".


Bug reporting
=============

If Nexuiz or the Nexuiz server crash on your system, please install the
darkplaces-dbg and gdb packages, and run it from a terminal with
NEXUIZ_BACKTRACE=1 in the environment to see a backtrace. For instance:

    NEXUIZ_BACKTRACE=1 nexuiz
