Thats already been fixed in 6.40
Near has been reintroduced as Znear and works great.
Check out the beta manual for more info.

Thanks

I didn't know that there was a 5.52 update until reading this thread. Is there somewhere that describes the changes in this update? I applied the update and I'll be darned if I can see anything different.

AFAIK A5.52 is a stripped down A6 version, where only the A5 functions and options are activated, and all other A6 features are disabled.
jcl wrote something like this in the release information...

It is very strange that the taskbar icon of A5.52 is using A6 icon.

The exe version is 6.0.0.6, not 5.52!

So what is the different between 5.51 and 5.52, I use 5.52 because Newton Physics cannot run with 5.51.

5.52 is a direct downgrade from A6.
This means it's basically A6 but with several features removed (like the A6 mode which supports hardware T&L).
this is why it shows the A6 logo and newer DLLs MAY still work (not all DLLs WILL work, though).

However officially it is A5. I guess someone forgot to update some version numbers and icons.
When you run a game it says 5.52.

So if I bought A6 extra , when i install this patch , I will be running A5 5.22 ? So could i make 2 builds of my game , one with A6 , and one with A5 software render and publish both versions , maybe offer the option to get a software render version if persons video card doesnt support hardward ? Would this be ok , even though ive never bought A5 ? Just curious about it.
