When I start CDC-X, I get a "user panic" or it crashes immediately.
Most of the time this is because the camera initialization has a problem. We are working on this. In the mean time, to get you back into CDC-X, try using the Start Menu item labeled "CDC-X No Camera", which will start CDC-X without touching the camera drivers.
My video camera is "stuck" or won't show when I select it in Setup|Web Cam...
The workaround is to select "No Video", then reselect the camera you want. This is a known problem we are working on. Usually some combination of selecting No video, clicking "done", then re-entering setup|web cam... and select the camera will bring it back alive. After that, avoid changing it unless you really need to :-)
My video isn't working, or acts funny (Windows)
Unfortunately, the solution we were using for DirectX Video capture doesn't work reliably, for some horribly technical reasons. In the mean time, we have disabled DX9 video capture. This isn't a huge problem at the moment, because everyone that is currently using CDC32 and has a working camera is using it in VFW mode. You can use Video for Windows mode in CDC-X by selecting "Setup|Web cam..." and selecting your device there. If all you have is WDM image capture, then you can select the "camera source" button to allow you to select your camera. CDC-X automatically select VFW mode for you in later versions of the beta test software.
Automatic relogin is broken.
CDC-X will not reconnect to the servers automatically. You must quit and restart CDC-X if you see "Offline" or "Not logged in" at the bottom of the main pal list. This will be fixed soon.
Autoupdate for Mac and Linux versions is broken.
For the alpha test version, there is no auto-update for Mac and Linux. You must download and install from the main website.
Aspect ratio for various video displays is wrong.
This is a known issue we are working on. In the mean time, you can either ignore it, or stretch the window until the video looks right.
Conferencing mode is flakey
The old CDC32 conferencing mode (ie, creating a conference room, then entering the room and joining the conference) is only partly working at this point. The old functionality worked fine, except it was somewhat hard to use. For CDC-X we are currently working on something that will be easier and more enjoyable to use. In the mean time, we have opted to disable conference room functionality.
