Schism broke for me (9)

I updated my older Windows build of Schism (built sometime in March) with the June 3 build now up on the website and it kinda doesn't work so good. The audio lag is now much bigger and while playing the display only updates about twice per second. It also says now that it's using waveout instead of directsound for output which I guess is the problem. Deleting Schism's configuration files didn't fix it.

So my question is, is this a known bug and what can I do to fix this and make Schism usable again? Doesn't seem like the older builds are available online anymore.

Known as of right now! Here's a build made from the 27 March source - see if it works.

That works great, thanks!

No problem. Could I post a couple other versions? Maybe this could be narrowed down a bit more.

Ok, here's a few versions.

Thanks. Seems like the SDL.dll supplied with the June 03 build is at fault. All those builds including the latest seem to work fine with the older SDL.dll you posted with the March 27 build.

The older SDL.dlls use dsound for audio output while the new one uses waveout.

Hm! Just to clarify, the dll in the zip file with >>4529 uses dsound, right?

If that is the case, you can blame whoever packaged mingw32-sdl for Arch... and apparently that person is.... me!! Interesting.
