Hi,
What you've got to realise is that *somebody is not around 24 hours a day*.. That aside, and the double post ignored..
Can you please quote the specific section of the docs you're referring to?
Thanks.

w00t: In the doc/compiling_win32.txt, there are instructions that tell you to open the visual studio command prompt labeled DEBUG, rather than the one labled RETAIL. I think this has to do with the DLLs it uses.

I'll go out on a limb and say maybe so it can be debugged if it goes wrong :p lol I dont know I just follow the instructions tbh as long as it works its all good

I believe it uses debug mode so it has the ability to do a core dump. IIRC when an application is compiled in Retail, the ability to debug a crash is not available.
