@Windows Vista users: If you're getting an error that says one of the components is missing or invalid, you can try registering it like this:Make sure you have administrative rights.Go to C:windowssystem32, right click cmd.exe, and click "Run As Administrator."Type in regsvr32 comdlg32.ocx (or whatever the name of the files is).edit: With version 1.4.0.16, if you get the error that says:QuoteDirect3D initialization failedError creating Direct3D objectsActiveX component can't create objectdo the above procedure with the dx8vb.dll file (search for and download it if it doesn't exist on your computer).Thanks to Dro on IRC for working with me to fix this.
Sorry for another problem, but...The Display panel went missing, and I can't find it...It's kind of stupid, but I'm serious about this. The Display panel is G-O-N-E GONE. Should I reinstall?
Found a bug: When I try to open the newest version of PolyWorks, I get an error message that says, "Error Loading; Error Setting Directories; Bad File Name or Number." Meanwhile, all that loads is a black background with green borders and sparse text on the bottom, the entire program doesn't respond to anything and cannot be closed except by using the Task Manager.Coincidentally, I only downloaded the new version because 1.4.0.10 freaked out whenever I attempted to open a particular map of mine.
I think this is because I forgot to clear my settings from the polyworks.ini before I uploaded it You can try redownloading it (make sure it's not cached) or change the first line in the ini to your Soldat directory and clear the next two lines.

However, my original problem is still there. When I try to open this map, I get the error "Error rendering in Direct3D," and under that error is either "D3DERR_INVALID CALL" or "Unknown."
Ok, this seems like a really stupid question, but... When I make the polygons I fall through them. Looked through the help.html
