I just started a new dwarf (due to my other character being badly made and I was tired of it..) and discoverd I culdn't turn! I know you're supposed ot press CTLR then keypads to turn but it didn't work how much I tried! I also had a friend start an account and he couldn't turn either..

Known problem. Nothing to do for it til new client comes out which could be a while.

Which was the chief decision to turn the application system on now instead of later, to limit new players who have negative numbers which causes the problem.

The problem is that you were using integer variables isn't it ? I think I remember from my programming that integer ends and starts from negative above 32k..

Dellingur: yes. Player numbers are stored in unsigned 2 byte integers which have a range of 0 to 65535.
A signed 2 byte integer has a range of -32768 to +32767.
Apparently in the client some where the integer is used as signed instead of unsigned (but not all places, since F12 shows their real + number).

In the new client being worked on, even though negative numbers still appear, it is possible to turn. However, the new client is not yet ready for release.

sounds good, am looking forward to the realese
any hint when it's going to come, sounds to me like it's coming soon.. ?
