Sam, i still have that lock up when a trader gang offers a truce...whenever i hit yes or no the client frezes...seems to happen outside of towns where I guess there is more to draw and uses more cpu.....a quick fix if u could be that trader gangs don't offer truces but will accept if u offer one....

Got in a huge fight last night with Holy Rollers because by the time i re-started the event had begun...lost my gang leader

Kinda screwed for the rest of the journey now unless I get lucky...

which reminds me...there should be way to turn around and go right back to town after the first encounter...

Don't want to complete my journey until i can accept truces again...that 10vs20 battle was fierce

toe- Sorry about that. That's actually something I noticed happening when I was first testing that particular code, and I thought I had it fixed by putting in a delay: for some reason if the dialog box appears too soon after the 3D world is first displayed, it locks up.

For sure. It's on my list for a while, I must get around to it soon. Been sidetracked by other things..

Right, I have just put in an additional 10 second delay so the server doesn't send you the truce offer for 10 seconds after you have connected to the game. Hopefully that will fix it. I can't test it right now as I'm behind a corporate firewall.. I can test it in a couple of hours however if you'd rather play it safe and wait until then.

I just tested and the delay works fine for me. Should be ok.
