Fair warning - this crashed on startup the first time I ran it on my laptop and then absolutely refused to crash again. If anyone has a similar problem I'd be interested in seeing the problem details.
Replace mx.exe or mxbin with one of the above files. I'd keep a backup of the originals since these aren't well tested.
You will also need to unzip this file somewhere where MX Sim can find it. (Either install folder or personal folder will work.) http://mxsimulator.com/snapshots/zzzvtestzz.zip
This is the same file as before but I'm keeping the link here just in case someone missed it.

I believe it's terrain shaders. I could be way off though.
I was waiting for someone to ask and JLV to explain it so I could read it and not know what he said at all.
The software terrain texturing is there to support drivers with buggy render to texture extensions. Ideally it would never be used, but working drivers aren't available for everything. You should only use the software terrain texturing as a last resort if you can't fix your drivers for some reason. The best setting is "Hardware/Direct" which is the same as before with framebuffer objects enabled.

Thanks for the update!
I don't know if the crash you are talking about has the same cause as mine but here is the log:
Note that I had this "problem" since 07/27 snapshot. It would crash at first launch and then work until I reboot the computer, I can reproduce it everytime I reboot.

This isn't of much help so let me know if you need more info.
Sorry for the double post but posting the log made me realize something new.
If I wait a little before launching mx sim again (just the time to post the log) it crashes again,I don't need to reboot to reproduce the problem.
I guess I did not see this as I was usually launching it again right after the crash.

This is not a problem at all for me as I always had trouble with mx sim since switching to this computer (badly designed hardware I guess) but if it can help others let me know if I can help.
so... I'm sorry... what does this do? Also, are you going to fix the restart methods on the servers so races that start actually have a chance to finish? This, to me, is hands down the #1 thing needed, period.
