Re: Re[2]: [Nel] Enabling Water Pools in Client

[Nicolas Vizerie]

Hi Robert,

That seems to be a bug : I was able to reproduce that in release build. It
comes from the ordering of transparent objects. I found that a bitfield in a
COrderingLayeredTable was not working correctly with Visual C++ in release
build only (in the begin() method). Tracing it showed that it may be a
compiler bug. I split it in several fields and it solved the problem. The
fix will be available on the CVS.
If this doesn't solve your problem, could you report it ?
Thanks.
Nicolas Vizerie
