So the bug fixing / quality management policies haven't improved over time? Sad.
Just checked out http://bugs.eduke32.com/ and e.g. "critical" bug #61 from 2017-06-27 isn't even confirmed. So easy to do. Still present btw.:

(No surprise that eduke32_snapshot_20090131 crashes as well.)

Thanks for the report. I will take a look and let you know here when the sky rendering issue is fixed.

Is it the skybox brightness, or is it the skybox turning into a big black nothing? We've had this problem in WGR2, and ended up going back to an old revision for that project because all of the HD skyboxes would appear as black. But oddly, on other projects skyboxes will show up normally in newer revisions.

Dunno, didn't bother to check any further.

I really wish we had at least something like a stable branch or a semi-official release[number] every now and then, instead of every modder/mapper and his dog in need of their project's very own binary revision. (I'm still on a patched r4495 most of the time.)
