[chaserli]

Do you really need that precision?

This just needs testing. No idea about consequences.

with nightly from this pull request we've experienced 6 crashes so far, while 4 of them are sudden quit that didn't generate anything other than debug.log. Uploaded these logs here, not sure if it's related to the floating point change

I am simply asking about which /fp option to use. As far as I know, there are not a great many FP operations in the current Phobos. However, if someone intends to rewrite some low level features, it could be an important factor. Although I've been using this option over the last 2 years, I'm not sure about its potential risks. Therefore, I am raising this question in advance to see if anyone has an answer. Before that, just hold this for a while. I compiled ddraw with avx and /fp:fast to take some advantage of simd operations, yet the effect is limited because of its narrow application scope.

Alphaimage/blitter crashes should already be present before

I did few games against AI and didn't encounter any crashes. Also tried MO and no crashes either (although i will still try to play the campaign more).
Perhaps those crashes are caused by ddraw.dll?

Had this graphical problem when loading a MO campaign save. It fixed itself only when i loaded the game again. Not sure if it's related to ddraw i'm using or because of this build.
That game also crashed to desktop when i was close to finishing the mission. Only syringle.log and debug.log were created, as except.txt got dumped into syringe.log:

so far we don't have much odd occured when testing this. The above crashes didn't appear in later test either
