Whoever has Problems with the new 3D view should post in here, so we can scold the staff together for using that crappy engine (and they can see all the stuff in one spot). I am not postnig this on the technical forum because it's a main issue as long as trhe feature still is in the testing phase, and because the other relevant topic is in here too (of course, these bastards only wrote in german).
You can find screenshots and the original topic here : http://illarion.org/community/forums/vi ... hp?t=26817

i experienced (and solved) the following :

- Black screen when activating 3D view
Solution : Get the latest NVIDIA drivers.

-Inventory does not open when pressing ALT+i
Solution : Hold down "alt" longer (at least five seconds) before pressing i. The engine seems to fail getting it even on newer machines.

- Only switches between fullscreen/windowed when pressing 3+d+F11
Solution :
1.update Java to the newest version.
2.update to a newer Direct3D release
3.get and install the DirectX Runtime libraries
4.Uninstall and reinstall Illarion.
(no idea if this also happens on Linux when you use OpenGL)
If that doesn't help, either your system is too weak (should be dual core and should have at least 1GB/Ram)

-really, really crappy perspective when outside of buildings
Enable "AutoFocus" in the option menu. Only works with newer graphics cards. If the option is greyed out, updating the driver may help.

Post your prblems/solutions in here.

Umm, my spells are messed up. They don't aim where the crosshair is, they just fly off randomly. Is that meant to happen? Otherwise, awesome! It's amazing, I couldn't believe it. I love the new jump function as well, even though goblins look a little daft doing it. The graveyard looks AMAZING. I sometimes get random errors though when I walk in/out of buildings. I like the new trading menu though. Very nice. It reminds me of morrowind xD.

But really well done, thanks staff :D .

The online list doesn't work correctly.. it says 8 players are online, but even in Bane there are more than 20 now.

Edit: But this seems to be a very little bug for this new update! Great work!

Yeah it only shows 2d chars on the online list for some reason. When I switch to 3d I don't appear on the online list but when I switch back I'm back again.

Strange.

Seems to be a bit choppy on mine, I have an intel on-board graphics card, which is probably it...

omg Adrian you're spiking so much. I just did KEL RA DUN QWAN with your char in the centre, the whole SCREEN went on fire and then the smoke clears and your character is miles away completely unscathed. Ridiculous.

wtf, when I walk to a body of water my character just stops. No swimming. Don't know what the heck you're on about. I like it how the tide moves up and down the beach though. Very cool.

omg just found a glitch, if you walk to the shore when the tide goes down then switch to 3d view, you'll be inside the water, then if you switch back to 3d, you can walk on top of the water.

when I press 3 + d + F11, my client only goes to full screen mode.
I did everything that Damien suggested, and I don't consider my pc to be "weak".

I got fooled too, although that's two days later, I forgot to check the date of release.

Well at least, you now possibly have a flawlessly installed, very up-to-date system ;)
