Hi Guys!

Remember that you can break things up into their own topics and threads now. I'm wondering, would it be helpful to divide this into two sub-forums:

1. Users
2. Programmers / developers

Regards,
Neil

For FreePIE, a single forum works just fine. May I suggest you only divide when there are so many thread that it's difficult to keep track? ;)

One section is probably good for now. We can break it up if it ends up getting really big.

Funny, when I saw the topic title I thought it would be discussion on parallel programming. Ha!

That might be necessary if your main thread is hanging on reading the tracker in some games.

Yes, the Hillcrest has problems on some games. I know they have an asynchronous mode, but I didn't get a chance to implement it. That may be the first place to look. Otherwise tossing it into another thread would probably be good. Also, I'm not sure if this problem is a general issue or specific to Hillcrest. Its possible it will work fine with the real Rift tracker.
