Harpoon 3 v3.4.14.1 Patch (MacOS Classic)
Version 3.4.14.1 is out and packs some more bug fixes for your Macintosh Classic version Harpoon 3, plus nukes! See additional information for full details.
I made one extra fix for MacOS Classic earlier this week, and released version 3.4.14.1 for Classic only.
It's a bit embarrassing, but I seemed to have turned off the Offscreen Drawing by accidentally removing the code that set the sDebugDrawing variable to false. So, it was no longer being set to anything in particular, and was apparently defaulting to true.
This caused all line draws to the Map windows to be drawn directly to screen. This caused a very annoying "blink" or "flash", and really slowed down drawing dramatically. I'm not sure how long it's been broken, but once someone reported it as a bug, several Mac users on the Harpoon3 Discussion list mentioned that they thought that was how it was supposed to be (because it had always been that way since they had begun playing :P ).
This bug affected the OSX version as well, but OSX automatically buffers all drawing to windows (unless you deliberately disable it), so it wasn't visible.
