There is some difference, see the full sized screenshots here: viewtopic.php?p=89442#p89442
The main advantage of the higher resolution is that the encoding artifacts' relative size gets smaller I think.

Yeah, relative, personally I don't see real difference on full HD screen...

brakenfur, such things happen, do not blame developers as they also want to release stable ASAP. ;-)

Don't ask me, since I'm only user. ;-)
There was accidental breakage in essential game mode so it was needed to fix that issues and release new build ASAP (since b5 had other important fixes).
Also if you don't play MP then read changelog before downloading, it is linked from news page.

Bugs were found in the beta 5 release thanks to the folks that test it.
Its pretty hard to test a release if you don't release it. So you have 5 release = bugs found..then you have the dev's working on those bugs and releasing the fix ...which = beta6

Thanks for giving us your free time dev's

You know you dont have to store beta5 just delete it and bingo you have your hard drive space back.

Because it was found after it was released, not before, as Berg stated.

Because broken multiplayer was a pretty serious problem for the people wanting to play multiplayer games. The more important the problem, the quicker the next release (given a fix). The broken savegames from beta4 and before were a pretty serious problem for people wanting to save their games, and have been around for quite a while already, so maybe beta5 was a bit rushed, sorry about that.

But the broken multiplayer was a known bug in beta 5. O_o

However, I understand the eager to get a new version. XD

I think some mechanism of "nightly build" or weekly build (with zip, and only the essential files) would work well in these situations, only if it's not too much overhead, off course :) .

:roll: why don't you try reading the beta 5 thread to know that it was broken so they had to release another version. nobody told you you must download a release as soon as it is out. :roll: :annoyed:
beta 5 was needed it fixed a major fault. beta 6 was needed it fixed a major fault. if you can't understand that then :annoyed: :roll: :annoyed:

Can I take that to mean that there will be less breaks in multiplayer? :yahoo:

Thank you to all who worked on and tested this release. :D
I fully realise my input is just another drop in the proverbial bucket. It is my goal to make each drop count.

Like viewtopic.php?f=6&t=8361 you mean? Since nobody merged the bugfixes branch between introducing the problem and beta5 that wouldn't have helped though...
