Known Bugs & Limitations
========================


Assimp

- IRR, DXF, MOT, LWS support is limited 

(the following issues are most likely to be addressed in a near bugfix update to 1.1)

- COB is pretty new on the list, test coverage is bad. Please give feedback.
- Ogre XML loader fails to load animations properly.
- ColladaLoader handles instanced nodes not entirely correct.


Viewer

- If you toggle all UI components quickly, the app gets confused.
- For files more than one embedded texture, only the first is loaded.
- Normals appear flipped from time to time when either of the normals-related menu items was hit.
- Alpha-sorting is implemented, but still causes artifacts when models are moved quickly.
- Several important texture file formats (such as GIF) are not supported.
- HUD is blurred on the right side. ATI/AMD hardware only.

Troubleshooting
===============

1. Missing d3dx9_42.dll? 
Install the latest DirectX runtime or grab the file from somewhere (that's evil but mostly fine).

2. Application configuration not correct / missing msvcr***.dll?
Reinstall Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 SP1 Redistributable (x86 or x64, depending on your system)

3. assimp.exe not in PATH
Add it to PATH. That's not a bug, the installer does not alter the PATH.

4. Crashes immediately
You CPU lacks SSE2 support. Build Assimp from scratch to suit your CPU, sorry.ut mostly fine).
