so... wtf is up with rc2a?

[talisman]

All my songs are there... but it won't load them. It just opens the catalog.xml or whatever and the cuts straight to the game.

Any help?

Uh.. I use it and it works awesome. Best version of SM ever for me.

a friend sent me his old install file for 20... so I'm going to use that for now.

But I do wonder why rc2 didn't work for me.

This was my solution....

I had the same problem, but solved it quickly. The "problem" with rc2a is that the game installs on a slightly different folder name. You may want to go to your program files directory or whatever equivalent to check for 2 different stepmania folders. For me, it was Stepmania CVS (old one) and StepMania (rc20). To fix, just move your songs into the new stepmania folder where it should be. Problem *should be* solved. Hope this helps.

Dude, this has been answered, and dead for awhile. Don't bring up really dead topics.

Okay, but since it's alive now, may I ask what's so good with a23? The changelog for a24 is:

Fixed music sample not starting when a song is selected quickly.
Fixed swapped NG/OK scoring.
Fixed double-width slash character.
Fixed loading half-doubles from KSFs.
Fixed legacy songs not finishing with the song background.
Fixed character rendering artifacts when a freeze segment lies on beat 0.
Fixed screen overlay graphics not being reloaded on theme change.
Fixed joystick mapping problems.
Windows: DirectSound underrun fixes.
Windows: Fixed refresh rate setting in D3D.
Windows: Fixed crash when fullscreen D3D window loses focus.
Windows: Use OpenGL for Intel 82845G.
Linux: Fixed GTK window not being centered.
Added OSC3 Red Sun translit.
Player 2 Back button now defaults to NumLock instead of Insert.
More options are saved to the profile.

I fail to see how any of these make StepMania worse ... so what did?
