I have noticed a few problems that have only shown up with the new release. It may be just my computer, but I doubt it.
1. Timeouts, at least offline, now lag quite a bit when they reach zero. Instead of starting up again right away, graal freezes for about 1/4 of a second or so. This is not good for NPCs which use counters based on a timeout of .05.
2. There appears to be a major warp problem. In Chaotica on Classic, when the player tries to go to a level named cclevel11.graal or cclevel12.graal from nearby levels (or other similarly named levels) they are warped to cclevel1.graal instead. I got in touch with the person working on CC, and he said that the warps were named correctly. Right now, it is impossible to finish the CC quest because of this.
3. This isn't necessarily because of the new release, but recently I have had problems with graal freezing for about half a minute or so, maybe longer, when I am reading PMs and I close the last open PM, or send a reply to the last open PM. I don't know what causes it.

Anyone else had similar problems?

Well...
 

I haven't checked CC for ages, but I haven't got any problems with the other two... Although that might have to do with what kind of computer you are using, but anyway if you haev a slower computer then I have that means that the timeout lag ahs increased which is indeed a bad thing.

If I remember correctly, my computer has a 400 MHz celeron processor (I am not at home at the time, so I am not sure). I don't know if that is slower than yours or not.

Only 50 mhz... I haven't really scripted much lately so I haven't really noticed, but I guess the timeout lag has gone up again :(
