bugs in elma online

what are known bugs?
as fas as i know only known bug is that flag tag bug?
can someone describe when does it appear?
i was just testing flag tag and every time elma restarts first player gets the flag and every game kuski starting with flag swaps
so it should work same on both computer
only way i see it is that one kuski tried do connect, didn't manage to and then after restart his flags got swaped. So the way to avoid it is not to swap flags when connection fails...
i just want someone to confirm that that bug appears in that situation, so the solution will work, then i can fix it..

milla: that ft bug happened exactly as you described it. We "solved" it the way, that one guy always hits his head to the ground at the start. Btw bugs happened sometimes while playing, once suddenly i see the other guy act strangely, as if he is not playing on the same level, and he sees me doing the same, and we both think we've got the flag. It somehow gets out of sync...strange.
Btw could you make the Loading screen to be esc-able?
It's so frustating everytime to wait/kill elma.
And elma freezes when we are in connection, and someone press alt-tab.
Sorry for my bad descriptions, i was in hurry.

chat isn't that a big neccessity if you play multi in windowed mode imo.

as you said it happens like once in half an hour, it has to be something with corrupted data so i really can't do anything about it (or atleast it would take too much work)
esc when connection is kinda hard too because need to do other thread that would kill first one.. that means I need to import some new dlls and so..
i also tried it in window mode only, much more user friendly
sadly elma is not my fulltime job..

mila: those last ones aren't bugs just things that can be irritating when someone doesn't care, and use alt-tab without escaping first, so its nothing important.
That flag tag bug i mentioned occured about 4 times in a row, in maybe 10 mins interval, and the connection was almost as smooth as single player elma, so it's still kinda strange. Anyway i didn't experience it since, so it isnt that everyday bug

You don't see my point. If i wanna quit i press esc

The problem is with those (eol)beginners, who don't know this freezing thing.
Funny, but we use the same sign when we want to go to desktop, and chat. Actually it is hard to find another simple and easy to understand action for this.
