Bug report time:
wooden logs (stuff you get after you cut a 'T'ree) will regenerate after you pick them up, and can be picked up again. Logs found in crates do not. The same thing happens with cooked food. making a new item (cooking more food or cutting another tree) seems to negate this behavior in the previous item (though it will be true for the new item)
It's impossible to tell which weapon you are holding.

PTW.

Wanted to try this out, but get an Error on run "Can't open DirectX"
I'm a gamer, so obviously I've got the latest versions, and one guess would be that this might require an extremely old version?
My other guess is that this is incompatible with Win7 and/or 64-bit OS.
XP SP2 compatibility mode didn't change the error.

Problem Found. Incompatible with the Evolve service running in the background.
Exiting Evolve will fix the problem.

Very strange, I tested it on XP and Win7/64bits without problems. You get the error at start?

[n9103]

Doesn't even start. Generic windows box with the error.
Figured it out (I think)
A social gaming app called Evolve tries to put an overlay (for browsing chatting or sharing) in just about any DirectX or OpenGL game that they have a rule for. (Rules are based on a specific exe name and a specific file relative to the exe's location.)
Never had problems with it before, but after closing it and Steam, it finally ran, and I can't imagine Steam having anything to do with it when it's in the tray only.
I've run lots of old and new games, and never had a straight up crash like that with Evolve.
