I have a very important request. Well it seems important for me. Drod 1.6 has a strange sliding effect when you leave a room. I know there are lots of people liking this effect. Well i don't. Cause of this effect, i'm playing drod1.5 again. I just hate it.This sliding effect prevents me from playing any other holds than the original one. If there is an option to turn it off, tell me how. If not:

Pleeeaaase make an option in drod 1.7 which optionally turns it off.

-> noman

Why don't you like it?

If it wouldn't take much coding, I'm sure Erik and co. would oblige.




Still, I advise you to try the user-made holds. Some are very good!

While I personally like the sliding effect, I agree with noman that there should be an option to turn it off. You can disable music, you can disable sound... I sometimes do both... it seems reasonable to be able to turn off this specific graphical effect.

How about we have an option to completely turn off the computer?

Please, don't be silly. We already have one of those, it's called a sledgehammer.
