Haha, thanks for that Cannis.
In fact, something that happened to me recently may have something to do with this. I was trying out CNC Nuked and also a map being developed by Truefeel, and although I cannot say if this thing happened as a result of playing that map or that mod, I remember it was around that time that this thing happened.
The "thing" is the Whiteboy bug, which happened throughout the game under different testing conditions when I tried to play my mod after trying the map/mod mentioned above. Thing is, this bug usually only occurs when there are more than 74 buildable things in the units sidebar. This time, the bug just happened right at the start of a game to the very end. This bug causes an IE, as tested on DCoder and Renegade's computers - but for me it caused the text that appears when the cursor is hovered over something in-game to disappear (but it was still appearing just fine on the sidebar). I now beleive that the reason this happened to me instead of an IE is because I have a 64-bit processor (DCoder doesn't). But I'm unsure if processor type matters.
BUT, at that time, I did have a dummy map for the two seperators. I fixed the bug (got the text to appear again) by moving the RA2MD.ini file somewhere else and playing the game unmodded - thus generating a new RA2MD.ini - and then swapping back the old RA2MD.ini. Then for some reason the bug was gone - in both the unmodded game and the WR game.
This would make perfect sense if I had no dummy maps, but I did. I suppose it's something to do with playing C&C Nuked and then WR in succession. I don't even know if it's avoidable - but at least I know how to fix it (move the RA2MD.ini and then move it back after playing the unmodded game).
I hope this makes sense somehow
