Just wondering, what's up with the numbers showing up every time you... I think pick up a powerup?
In addition, it seems there's some logging of some sort going on since the sound is pretty slow again. But I'm not sure what?
Maybe I'm just unlucky enough to have picked up a debug version...

Eeek, that was debug output. Will fix it right away.

I want to thank you. You've done an excellent job on D2x.

Now for the bad news...
1. Weird...the 1600x1200 actually changes the resolution to 1280x960.
2. The bank keys (w, bank left; r, bank right) are still slow.
As for the cube render error I mentioned...that vanished. I did clear out / add command lines from my d2x.ini file earlier:

Rendering errors
-legacyrender was the problem. It switches back to D2's original rendering code and hidden surface detection, which does not work well for complicated level structures.
Generally, you should disable all -legacysomething switches. They all disable advanced features I have built into D2X-W32, reverting to original D2/D2X 0.2.6 style features, and are mainly meant for debugging. My recommended d2x.ini settings are as follows:

Screen Res
I will look into the screen res issue.
Pitch/Bank w/ Keyboard
I am using some num pad keys for pitch/bank, and have no problems with them now. Pitch/bank work fine on my machine (about 2 secs for a full loop/roll, no slow-mo).

Very well. Quick demo. Don't know if you need to know this, but my framerate is capped at 30.

Screen res: solved
pitch/bank speed: solved
Your frame cap was revealing a problem in my input device sample rate limitation code. As you can have "natural" frame cap caused by slow hardware, this had to be fixed, which I have done. New program version online.
