Probably a pkg mod in your data will freeze your ren briefly when you log in, best to keep it outa your data folder when you aren't using it.

Good, because you toss a few 1GB+ packages in your data folder and you soon find your self waiting 5 + min for the game to unlock.

Have my children.

This is one of the most annoying bugs I've faced, it really sucks not being able to have an ample collection of mods and maps because I don't want to wait 10 minutes for XWIS to load.

I've fixed it now. The first time it will still be slow and every time you throw in a new package/update an old .pkg it will be slow for one time (because it has to hash the entire .pkg file). Maybe after 4.0 is all spread out I can use a less intrusive hash.

That certainly doesn't sound too bad. Smile

Why does XWIS collect MD5 hashes of you packages?

It doesn't, it sends a hash of the pkg on the server and the client compares it to it to do the map matching.

Clever - but what about mixes? Do they skip the hash on those due to the fact is is *harder* to cheat by modifying them?

Nope, they don't send the hash because a mix can only contain one map file Razz. There reasoning was this, if they have to search every .pkg for every map it would take too long, so they only search it if it matches the hash. Unfortunately they forgot that .pkg's can be huge and take ages to hash.
